Top Gear was in fine form this weekend.
In reviewing Honda's answer to a mini four by four, the Element (which is currently not available for sale in the UK, because, apparently, the UK has more than enough good cars to choose from), our host, the brilliant James May, dubbed this vehicle in the exact same manner as me, it's a love child of the Range Rover and a Nike trainer (running shoe).
So, to get a true opinion, James decides to take it to a place for a tough test, as Honda's, by and large, aren't considered very cool within the UK and the average age of a Honda driver is well (as he hesitates) OLD!.
He takes the Element to the British epicenter of old, in Eastbourne to the Guildredge Park Bowling Club, which was founded in 1920 by Sir Frances Drake.
Most of it's members do actually drive Honda's and he wanted to see if they'd deem this thing "cool" or "uncool" (secretly he wanted them to hate the thing, therefore making it perfectly salable within the UK).
After several observations and comments were given on the over all look and feel of the vehicle, he chimes in with this prize winner:
Moment of truth: would the Element be a car for the people who like hip-hop or for people waiting for a hip-op?
The consensus was a resounding: yes. It was official, it's a COOL HONDA!
