#72 of 78 It's a hybrid.... by erik25 Oct 15, 2009 (9:48 am)
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: nippononly (Oct 16, 2009 12:21 pm) To me 130 hp is sufficient for this car to be fun to drive if the handling and feel are superb. I think fuel economy is an important goal for this model, not blistering acceleration, which is probably why Honda is staying with a small displacement engine. With 200 hp or more in a small car, I'd want RWD. That could be the production version of the Toyota FT-86.

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 Replies to this message: englishpete (Oct 25, 2009 12:49 pm) nippononly (Oct 26, 2009 12:11 pm)

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 22, 2009 7:26 am) Dont Think that the production model lives up to the concept it seems to have got smaller and lost some lines but at least its a 1.5 and manual, seating looks ok but again nothing like the concept.

Replying to: englishpete (Oct 25, 2009 12:49 pm) Looks-wise, it's a 2-door Insight, which is kind of what I expected when I heard the two would be based on the same platform.   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.
