My wife and I just purchased an 06 Civic Hybrid to take the place of our beloved 05 Element which gave it's life to save my wife's last week when someone ran a red light and struck her. Since we already have a 99' CR-V with 140k on it, we re-evaluated our priorities and thought it is silly to own two SUV's, even if they are low emissions Hondas. Perhaps we can get another Element once the CR-V gives out.
