Isn't there a difference between the side airbags and the side curtain airbags that are standard on the Element? Maybe I'm just confused.:rolleyes:
Ok, my bad. I just checked and the new CRV does come standard with the side curtain airbags.:o

While we're on Elements...another question.
Do any of you feel that the limited clearance keeps you from roads you would otherwise like to travel...like you might if you had a higher-clearance truck?
Anyone out there go from camping and tame off-roading in a pickup with canopy, to the Element? Comments?
I think I really want an Element for all that if offers...hauling the bike in the back, sleeping inside with access to ignition, etc, and better security.
But, I worry a little about wanting to go on roads that are a little more rutted or rough...not wild...just tame off-roading toward better a little more remote campsites, etc.
I took mine on the Buffalo National River on the gravel bank (deep, always shifting, hard to walk on gravel). The AWD kicked in nicely and did its job.
I even pulled my husband's F150 out of the gravel. I told him not to drive down there without 4WD!
Overall I'm very pleased with its performance, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive down almost any road. But, do understand that I live in a place where I have a choice whether to drive down a road or not. I don't have to worry about deep snow ruts or anything like that.
