That's because I remain skeptical of the cost, complexity, weight and space efficiency issues associated with hybrids. Maybe my concerns will prove frivolous.

In the U.S. we don't get to choose from the best cars made by foreign automakers, we make do with their scraps and 26,000 SUV choices.  (And yes, that DOES mean we don't get the Scirocco either) I just feel so fortunate that Honda is even bringing the CRZ to the States.

The first intend for this car was to make a hybrid that can by sporty looking and driving,so people who want the "old crx" back are on the wrong thought.Ofcourse if Honda would listen to his costumers and look at forums  ,they could sell a lot more cars,not that old looking and dull driving cars they make now.The CR-Z could be a nice start for Honda to get some custumers back again who went to other brands for better looking cars.I'm still thinking of the insight but when this coupe has more power with better milage and more fun to drive i can wait for it.Hope they don't price it to high,otherwise it's still not gonna happen for Honda.

Replying to: erik25 (Oct 15, 2009 9:48 am) I would LOVE to see this car with the SI's 200 hp powertrain. Even a hotted-up DI version of the regular Civic's 1.8, at around 160 hp, would be a lot of fun.

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 05, 2009 7:02 am)  Dont understand why you dont get what we can your one of the worlds biggest markets.  As For the CRZ it looks like a 1.5 engine manual box no turbo and the lithium iron batteries are also going to be changed for a cheaper type. The CRZ is going on sale in Japan in February 2010 and will be in the UK by spring. The price will be set to be in compertion with the Sirocco which is at the moment about £21,000 for the 1.4 petrol (by the way the 1.4 is 160 HP engine) so i think you will see a price of £19,000 or a bouts (you can convert this to US $ and get a cost). I will still follow the progress of the CRZ as i still have a soft spot for Honda. |

I know I did...Honda has made it official that the production CRZ will debut at Detroit in January, and it will definitely be a 2-seater, despite the concept car having a back seat. They are calling it "a sporty, hybrid coupe with unique value", which gives me hope that it will start around $20K rather than the much-higher price some have speculated on. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20091021/TOKYO/910219997

Replying to: englishpete (Oct 25, 2009 12:49 pm) I just hope they get the handling package right, that's what will matter most to me. All the current hybrids suck in the handling department. |
