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.?

Replying to: hpmctorque (Sep 30, 2009 3:05 pm) http://www.autoweek.com/article/20090930/TOKYO/909309998 and I trust Auto News to be careful with their quotes from press releases, so I'm elated - CRZ WILL have a manual transmission! Now the only worry is that it will be only for the home market, where it goes on sale first, and not for the U.S. There's a new pic at that link too. Even though it is fairly obviously a shortened 2-seat version of the Insight, they have made it look good, and curb weight should be down from the Insight with any luck, given the reduced size. We will have it in a year or so - I hope it finds enough sales for them to keep it on the market here. I still see used CRXs all over the place, and the newest models of that car are close to 20 years old now. Oh, and BTW, the design is getting mixed reviews at that Autoweek link. Someone has suggested that they offer a CRZ SI using the 200 hp engine from the current Civic SI, and if they did that I would just DIE. I would be first in line, camping out at the dealership for an SI like that! But if it's a proper manual with the Insight powerplant and pulls 45-50 mpg, and has the handling of a CRX, I will be more than satisified too.
