CRZ V Scirocco by englishpete

Sorry you can not get this car in your neck of the woods,
I agree with your statement about being a little more porky and wanting something that stands out but I want a new car, I own a Honda now if I had some details of the CRZ (like when can I buy one what will it look like) then I would wait, but if this car is a disappointment and does not come up to the mark I would have wasted time and I could have been driving something that ticks all the boxes.
Think Honda have been to slow off the mark getting details out for the CRZ let alone the car.
 
Some how don’t see Honda fitting electronic adaptive and ajusterble suspension as standard and giving the option of leather upholstery plus all the goodies that come as standard on the GT model all for just over £20,000 which is the projected price for the CRZ.
Hope Honda don’t let you down.

Oh they probably will by leaving out the stick shift option, but in that case I have Subaru in my back pocket for "plan B". I will go the extra $$ and get a WRX. There's still the possibility of that new RWD coupe they were working on too.
 
But perhaps Honda will still pleasantly surprise me. Luckily for me, I can afford to wait 18 months and see what is forthcoming in Fall 2010.

Subaru sounds fine to me looks nice.
There have been some events in the last week or so that might make Honda change its plans for hybrid cars,
Here in the UK (and the EU to follow) the government is talking of offering up to £5000 towards the cost of a new car if it is electric or if it’s a plug in hybrid. This puts Honda on the back foot as the batteries and motor on their hybrids are small and no were near powerful enough to drive on electric power only let alone plug in.
I see also that the US have an all electric car coming out.
Honda is going to have to play catch up the market is changing fast,
As for us petrol heads I think you will be better off with your Subaru and I my VW

You may be right, but it was a pleasant dream, wasn't it? That Honda would build a proper successor to the CRX? Instead, we get a 3-door Insight, as it appears now. And that's not a very interesting prospect.
 
Bring the 1.8 gas and 6MT, Honda!!!!

What I'd like to see is coupe and roadster versions of the Fit.

You mean a roadster with a fold down metal roof, every one else makes them but its a bit to radical for Honda, You will not get one, there are only into building old mens cars now, No S2000 nothing sporty at all, and if we ever see the CRZ ?.what will it be like.
Try BMW,VW, Peugeot,Ford,Audi,Volvo,Mazda need i go on they all make them.

I wouldn't have minded seeing a 3 door Fit as the CRZ, with the Fit powertrains and a MUCH better handling package, a la CRX. It would have to have a much lower roofline of course. That would have been a true spiritual successor to the CRX, which never had a ton of power after all, even in the SI.

I prefer fabric roofs to metal ones, because the proportions look better to me. In addition, fabric roofs have a weight and cost advantage. Of course, metal tops offer better security, but to me the tradeoffs aren't worth it. Regardless, I think it's idle chatter because I agree with you that Honda won't offer a small roadster.

My thoughts exactly, but Honda isn't going to give us what we want.

Well thought I would let you know I have placed an order for a Scirocco GT TDI 170 this being the latest variant to be offered by VW. It’s the same engine that’s being supplied for the new Golf GTD and is in the Audi TT TDI.
0 to 62 in 8 seconds and 60 to the gallon do we really need hybrids?
The car looks better in the metal. pictures don’t do it justice.
 
Not rubbing salt into the wounds but got fed up with Honda and the lack of information, I think Honda are in deep trouble. They have only just reopened the plant here in the uk after 6 months closer, most of what they make here goes for export to the rest of Europe.
I hope Honda don’t go under but they should do their best to preserve what costumers that are loyal to them by producing cars their costumers want.
