I have been reading in a few sites that there is some confusion as to whether or not there is going to be a 2009 Honda Element, because information has been scarce.YES, there is going to be a 2009 Honda Element, here are the trim levels;
Element LX
Element SC
Element EX
Element EX AWD
Here is a snipet from Vtec.net on the matter;
"The Element receives a major update for 2009 with significant exterior styling changes while also adding new and improved interior features. Additional details will be released in the fall."
Car and Driver says;
"The platform and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine remain unchanged."
