Another year has come and gone, and 2010 took away a bunch of car and trucks from the market. Here’s a look at who departed us; some will be missed, but here’s those that we won’t.
Honda Element
North Americans voiced a collective “what the hell is that?” when the Element was launched back in 2002 as a 2003 model. Four seats, suicide doors and gray plastic fenders definitely made it stick out from the crowd of me-too SUVs. Its practicality was undeniable, however, and caught on with dog lovers by its ability a fit a full-size crate inside. Families didn’t appreciate the back doors too much, and half the population thinks it’s downright ugly. Its low sales figures couldn’t justify a redesign.
