It’s mostly the Mandela-esque effect of everyone seeming to remember it being a supposedly washable interior.

Plus the Element sort of has an outsized place in American popular car culture, not unlike the Pontiac Aztek. That’s my best guess anyway. Hard to explain but it makes sense to me seeing it here.

Yeah you nailed it. Until just now I thought you could hose these things out. I thought that was the entire point of the plastic interior: hoseability.

Like public bathrooms with central drain and continuous tile from the floor and up the wall.

I've never owned an Element—I hope that if I did, I'd figure out the truth of this myth—but it's definitely a very common one.
