xB was reasonably entertaining, though I think I'd enjoy a stick better. And Honda Element owners love you because they no longer drive the ugliest car on the road. But once the newness wares off--and over-sticker prices drop--I can see this being purchased by (gasp) middle-agers looking for a versatile, economical second car. And I don't mean for their kids, who I think will quickly shun it for The Next Big Thing.
