Marketing. The best microwave popcorn I ever ate was buffalo wild wing, you could even taste a subtle blue cheese flavor. It never made it out of the lab, not because it was phenomenal, but because marketing couldn't decide where they could sell it.
The Element anyway is a good gear hauler.
You can haul your bicycles inside.
I have also pulled my motorcycles 1000's of miles.
2011 is the last year of the Element. Who cares.
