Test Drive: 2005 Honda Element

A truck? A link to a truck review? I know we're a car site but, really, sometimes it's helpful to have something a little more versatile. But, come on... very few of us need an eight-foot truck bed and a big ol' V-8. For the times when you do have to move that whatever for what's-his-name you'll find the Honda Element fits the bill nicely. It even passes muster with car guys like our test driver Jason Fogleson (who gets a nod for using the word detritus in a car review). It's a heck of a lot more versatile than you think, a lot less of what you don't need and remains pretty darn affordable.—Bob Schulties
