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!!!!

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

"You mean a roadster with a fold down metal roof..." 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. |

Replying to: nippononly (Apr 21, 2009 7:11 am) 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. |

From Automotive News, 9/30... "The front-wheel-drive car pairs Honda's integrated motor assist hybrid system with a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine and six-speed manual transmission. Honda hasn't announced fuel economy figures. The CR-Z is billed as the spiritual successor to Honda's popular CR-X." Unless it's a misprint, the CR-Z will have a manual transmission after all. Does this still leave a tiny doubt as to whether the manual will also be available in the U.S.?
