    The Kia Soul is pretty cool. I've read some great reviews on it, and you can get one loaded with some nice features for ~$15,500.

    Yeah, the Cube is fugly. The soul is hot, but I love the 2nd gen xB. Plus I don't know about the Soul as far as reliability

    I would go for the corolla rumion. It has the cleanest un-strange look. All the others have something weird about them, and I think Honda element is in a different category because it's way bigger than these other ones.

    the element is a "cool car"!

    i would pick the element personally over the selection.

    I would rent the kia if the girl came with it.

    The Element is pretty cool if you go camping alot or have kids, because the rear seats can fold up different ways to make space and the interior floor is like Husky liner. So it can be a cool small SUV.

    The Element doesn't belong in this category, neither does the Fit. So Honda is missing the mark on this hot sector of cars

    I think you could compare the Fit to the 1st gen xB, but not the current xB. The new one is waaaayyyy bigger
