Liked the link by the way, here is on for you to check out. http://foreman.blogs.topgear.com/2009/02/17/honda-crz-keeps-the-flag-flying/

Replying to: englishpete (Mar 19, 2009 4:20 pm) That blog was very nice .Thanks for giving me the link.Ofcourse this automobile indusytry is under some unique pressure due to the recession and they people will be busy with the bailout etc rather than the concepts and shows.They may be in search for a concept that may rescue themselves.he he.So I think there may be a chance to cancel more hows.Anyway it is sad to hear that the prestegious motor show is not there.Also it is intresting to know that Honda had a plan for building non-hybrid version.Yes Toyota displayed a number of concept vehilcles in thier website http://www.toyota.com/concept-vehicles/ both hybrid and non hybrid. Thanks for visiting my blog and please tell about it to others(even though it is not worth for that). |

Take a close look at the VW Scirocco and you can see the CRZ who copied who? As the Scirocco is a production car and has been for some time think maybe Honda may have copied VW. The CRZ has the same lines as the VW right down to the windows, the front is not a million miles from apart in design ether. The rear is better than the CRZ and with its wide track and its four seats is a better car. With a choice of petrol or diesel the later giving 56 mpg and a sports performance think Honda have been caught with their pants down with the CRZ The Scirocco has spent two years as a concept as has the CRZ the Scirocco has been in the market place for the last eight months. I rest my case. If you are fed up with waiting for Honda to bring the CRZ to its show rooms (like me) buy a VW Scirocco

Replying to: englishpete (Apr 15, 2009 3:06 pm) The Scirocco is a larger car just like the GTI, and I don't think that makes it a better car. Honda is trying to copy cues from the last-gen CRX, which is why the back looks the way it does, and of course the front is mimicking the new family look from the Civic and Insight a little bit. In a performance coupe, how different are two competing models going to look in the side windows? If I wanted a GTI, I could buy one of those right now. I want something a bit more different from the pack, please, and preferably less porky. |

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.

Replying to: englishpete (Apr 16, 2009 4:28 am) 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.

Replying to: nippononly (Apr 19, 2009 4:39 pm) 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

Replying to: englishpete (Apr 20, 2009 3:38 pm) 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!!!!
