An imported car I saw for the first time today.jpg

I saw a car called a Honda Element in front of me this morning, and since it was my first time seeing it, I looked it up.
It was mainly sold in North America and was discontinued in 2011. Wow.
It was exactly this color.

The Honda Element is a boxy compact CUV (crossover) vehicle that Honda produced and sold primarily for the North American market from 2002 to 2011.
It was designed targeting young people in North America and consumers who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle.
Thanks to its unique rectangular design and overwhelming practicality,
it continues to enjoy cult popularity among camping and car-camping enthusiasts even after being discontinued.
At the time of its discontinuation, opinions were divided due to its unique appearance,
but with the recent spread of outdoor and car-camping culture,
its value has been showing a tendency to rise somewhat in the North American and domestic parallel import used car markets.

The Genesis Neolun looks sick. Wow.

Looking closely, it was left-hand drive. So I looked into whether it was officially imported, and it turns out if there are any in Korea, they are all individual direct imports from North America. Wow.

The Element is a model originally developed exclusively for the North American market (USA, Canada) and was produced in an Ohio, USA factory.
Element vehicles seen in Korea are all individually imported vehicles that entered through the following routes:
Direct import from USA/Canada: Left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles brought in through moving goods, individual direct imports, or parallel import companies.
Reverse import from Japan: Some right-hand drive (RHD) versions of the US-produced models being reverse imported.
