The Element, though it had some handy features (such as an interior that could be washed out with a hose in many areas), has been slowly dying out of the market for years. Small advertising campaigns such as those featuring "Gil the Crab" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhkAGfS__mk) were certainly entertaining for some, but they were produced a while ago, and couldn't boost Element sales enough for Honda to keep the Element in the lineup through 2011. Many readers have expressed a deep dislike for cars in the Element's class (especially the Scion xB and Chevrolet HHR), so this may be a small victory for some.
