4. Honda Element EX-P - $21,475

Highs: Brink's-truck styling for the masses, immensely flexible cargo space, happy Honda powertrain.

Lows: French doors create more problems than they solve, much wind noise, off-putting driving position.

The Verdict: Honda colors outside the lines and off the page.


3. Chevrolet HHR LT - $19,030


Highs: A smooth rider, splendid sofa for two in back, pleasingly plump shapes inside.

Lows: Stupid location for window switches, shifter has an argument for every move of the lever, loosey-goosey ride motions.

The Verdict: The Me-Too Cruiser.


2. Chrysler PT Cruiser GT - $26,375

Highs: A shape to love, great cargo utility, turbo scoot, slick hatch latch.

Lows: Dangerously over decorated, driver's seat hardened with leather, makes wide turns.

The Verdict: Still an automotive milestone.

1. Scion xB - $16,343

Highs: Box-shaped and unapologetic about it, tremendous view out, sweetly agreeable in its responses, huge space inside.

Lows: Can't remove seats, tach is lost in the dial's blackness, radio controls need a redo.

The Verdict: Exhilarating in its simplicity.

HA HA! 😛 😛 😛
