2007 Honda Element SC Prototype revealed

An all-new urban-oriented counterpart to the Honda Element will debut this fall with an exclusive sport suspension, larger wheels and tires, unique styling and special features like a carpeted interior and a center console, Honda announced today at the New York Auto Show. The Element SC prototype rides 3-inches lower than stock with a sport suspension that delivers sports car-like handling. A front-to-rear aerodynamic body kit further lowers the vehicle's stance, supplementing the new vehicle's performance direction with a ground-hugging presence. The Element SC has fully-painted exterior panels and trim pieces, projector-beam headlights and an aero-enhanced black grille. The interior features a more "driver-oriented" center console, copper hue instrument panel lighting backlit with LEDs, piano black trim and a carpeted floor.
