Press Release Body = San Leandro Honda, the leading Honda Dealership
in San Leandro, announces the debut of Honda’s all-new urban-oriented
counterpart to the Honda Element.
The all-new Honda Element will debut this fall with an exclusive
sport suspension, larger wheels and tires, unique styling and special
features like a carpeted
interior and a center console, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,
announced at the 2006 New York International Auto Show.
The Element SC prototype rides 3-inches lower than stock with a
sport suspension that delivers sports car-like handling. A front-to-rear
aerodynamic body kit further lowers the vehicle\'s stance, supplementing
the new vehicle\'s performance direction with a ground-hugging presence.
High on sophistication, the Element SC smoothly stands out with
exclusive features such as fully-painted
exterior panels and trim pieces, projector-beam headlights and
an aero-enhanced black grille. The interior further complements
the city performance demeanor with a driver-oriented center console,
copper hue instrument panel lighting backlit with LEDs, piano black
trim and a carpeted floor.
\"The Element SC prototype is the city-dwelling, style-conscious
brother of the original Element,\" said Dick Colliver, executive
vice president of American Honda. \"Instead of features that accommodate
outdoor sports and similar activities, the Element SC injects a
new dimension of sophistication into the lineup that can best be
characterized as \'night performer.\'\"
The 2007 Element SC prototype has a 2.4-liter, DOHC, i-VTEC engine
that benefits from a 10 horsepower increase over the 2006 Element,
bringing the total to 166 horsepower (SAE net revised 8/04). The
increase is achieved primarily through the addition of high-flow
intake and exhaust systems and high-lift camshafts. Additional enhancements
include drive-by-wire
throttle control. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard,
and the available automatic transmission has five forward gears
instead of four.
Fulfilling the goals of Honda\'s \"Safety for Everyone\" initiative
introduced in 2003, all 2007 Elements will provide a core suite
of standard
safety equipment that goes beyond existing regulations and includes
side curtain airbags, driver\'s side impact airbag, front passenger\'s
side impact airbag, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and ABS. A production
vehicle based on the Element SC prototype will go on sale this fall.
