Honda Element
Wikipedia "policies" (actually only guidelines) as regards to measurements can be specifically read at:
 * 1) Manual of Style (dates and numbers): "If for some reason the choice of units is arbitrary, choose SI units as the main unit, with other units in parentheses. For subjects dealing with the United States, it might be more appropriate to use U.S. measurements first, i.e. mile, foot, U.S. gallon."
 * 2) WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions: "We will use the local standard first when making judgements on localized units and terms."

Since the only English language markets where the Honda Element is sold are the United States and Canada, both of which use "old fashioned" non-SI conventions, they get priority over SI units which can be included in parentheses. As per WP policy on verifiability the reliable external source for this information, Honda's official website, uses non-SI units. I will edit the page to include both, with the SI units in parentheses, and I hope this will avoid an edit war. --DeLarge 10:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, actually. Admittedly I was mostly irritated that the changes a friend of mine had been trying to (helpfully) include in the first place were overwritten. I'm happier to see both units displayed, honestly.-Nemyn
