Click and Clack said the Element is the spiritual successor to the
Vanagon.


two things about that

one - click and clack have not spoken well enough of vanagons to merit
the right to spiritual commentary

and two - taking apart the interior of one of those elements is a lot
like feeding snapping turtles by hand -

my vanagon has no spiritual successor - it is itself, itself alone -
like all sentient beings : )
