Shoreline Mist 5-speed
Why Shoreline Mist? Well, I wanted Galapagos Green but didn't like the green rubber dashboard. Same prob with Eternal Blue. To get a neutral interior, the choices were Shoreline Mist, Sunset Orange or Nighthawk Black. I didn't want black because I like the contrast of the dark plastic body panels against the lighter painted metal. To my eye, that's what gives the Element its "character." Sunset Orange is pretty cool but I'm way more into the "utility" than the "sports" of this SUV. Same reason I prefer the look of the steel wheels to that of the alloys - so I downgraded. Yeah, I know they're ugly but they're ugly in a no-nonsense, jungle-safari/desert-excursion kind of way. The alloys are just too disco for a working vehicle like this. (IMHO, of course.)
How I'd like it to be:
About 8" less tall with removable back windows & roof (kind of like a Wrangler that runs)
