I don't know that I'd recommend the Element. It has a higher injury rating that most vehicles in it's class if you're concerned about that. What about a Ford Freestyle? Or a Volvo XC90? Lexus GX 470? Those all have low injury ratings, and are considered very safe. The Lexus is kinda boxy looking. You could get a nice used one. Or maybe even a used LR3? They're very nice, and the bugs are supposed to have been cleared by a software reprogramming.
I used the IIHS information located
here.
Or you could just keep the H3 and tell the Danes to
lay down!
