I'm not as inspired by it's body design as I had hoped to be. The prototype images we saw were much sportier, but a bit "snouty". I had hoped they would soften the face a bit, but they softened everything to the point that it seems rather plain now.

the concept looks too much like a lol car much like mazda
i like how they toned it down a tad but still kept it looking sleek, they cant make another crx as much as we all want that. market is in another area now and i think they put together a car that can appeal to everyone but also with some work can be made to suit our needs
ill deff be testdriving that slut asap

Wake me up when there's an SI.
If it doesn't way 3000lbs.

i think this one is slated at 2800 which by newer car standards is decent, majority of people want something that will do more then fold in half when struk at a faster speed then 15mph
it comes with 6 airbags and all kinds of extras, gutted it would be fairly light IMO
the days of the 160hp wheelbarrow from the factory are gone, gonna take a lot of nig work and fluxcore to get the newer cars light.
plus 99% of the "tuner" people wont even buy one since they are cheap fucks and want ebay prices on everything lol
-
CRZ in the US = lulz @ VW for not bringing the Scirocco here
OOOOOKAAAAY
thats the one vw i WANT to own

I slid into a dumptruck with a crx at 55-65mph and only blacked out and got a few stitches :P
I should be able to put my life at as much risk as I please.
-
then buy it and gut the bitch lol

There are plenty of other cars I'd rather buy.
It's OK but will never be a crx

I want a oil dripping, gas guzzling, pre-mixing polluting, 2000 pound rx7. just to say fuck this going green bullshit.

wont be poluting much since it will be driven for 3 months out of every year.
my next buy will be an s2000 the AP1

S2K is exactly one of the cars I'd rather buy.
Cheaper, better looking, better performing, not hybrid.
Last of the good Hondas.
-
yes sir and with the obama-session and another stimulus package in the works i see the prices going down
hell even now there are a few around floating in the 10-12k range

Complete failure (as I expected).
ugly, heavy, expensive, hybrid, slow...a true new Honda
NSX was canceled
S2K was canceled
CRX was ruined
Civic is an improvement over the EP3 abomination but still fail
They have nothing anymore.
I'm more interested in the Toyobaru FT-86 thing, Focus, or FFS a VW Scirocco.
-
I have flirted with the idea of getting a s2000 but with having 2 friends who have owned them they really are only a car to drive around in. No trunk space literally if you plan a road trip and if your taller than 6 feet its going to be tough to enjoy driving it.

This pretty much sums it up. I had high hopes, but this thing sucks.

The more pics of that pile of fail i see the more i puke.

what a ugly piece of shit

Your Jetta is a better vehicle. VW's mission statement is to be the #1 automaker in the world, and they will be doing this by focusing on QC. Pretty much anything that's been a problem for the last decade you can get warrantied with an upgraded part, and the new cars ~07-08+ don't break like the older cars.
Fucking wierd to say it, but I'm prepared to embrace VW as the new paradigm to aspire to with how far Honda has fallen.

I also own a 07 gmc sierra with the 6 ltr "vortec max" engine -gas guzzler
and I also drive a 94 isuzu that drips a little oil and doesnt get that great of gas mileage.
im happy with my vehicles.

I'd just get a first generation insight, and remove all the hybrid shit. Even with Aircon, CVT, and all that hybrid stuff, it still weighs 1900lbs. The manual ones are even lighter. One of those with even the D17 pile of fail swapped in would be a riot. You could probably sell the hybrid parts to some hippies and break even on the conversion.

A local guy WANTS one as a roadrace car. He doesn't mind the front end being a little tweaked + it being aluminum, it'd get the front partially tube framed as part of the entire cage structure. I really think he's onto something, it's a cool ass idea.
-
i can see the insight as a drag car, but the wheelbase seems a little odd for road racing.
this is all speculation though as i have no idea what the actual measurements are of the insight.

Just ask Brians twin brother from another mother BISI :?:

I was reading on miata.net and they had a discussion about the crz. Thought these were interesting points made by others
0-62 mph in 9.7 seconds
I proposed this elsewhere and I'll say it here too: no man (or woman) should buy, and no car maker should make, a sports/sporty car that is slower than that same car maker's minivan. An Odyssey will do 0-60 in 8.3s. Absurd.

Yeah I'm right at 6' and when I sat in one with the seat all the way back my knees were still hitting the dash. Hell there's no trunk space worth a shit they could have at least made the cabin another 6" longer.

On miatas (different car, but similar in a lot of ways), it's not uncommon for people to modify the seats or buy new seats. I'm 6' and the miata isn't that comfy, and that's after modifying the stock seat. Sucks for long trips, but fun as hell to just go for a ride in.

THis. The Honda Pilot is one of the fastest Stock Hondas Ive ever driven, Ive outrun a MazdaSpeed 3 in it and honestly just felt bad for the little guy. For christs sake its not fast by any means but back in what 04 when the Camry,accord and maxima had close to 280-300 hp motors in them i was thinking damn if thats what they are tossing in the soccer mom rides, wtf do they plan to put in their sports cars.

Car still makes me barf :-X

Please report back to your Mazda friends that the Honda community does not approve of the CRZ.
Thanks.

A stock 2000 odyssey will go 130mph and do sweet burnouts. Its hilarious to light the tires up on a street, then drive around a corner and pass a cop who HAD to have heard someone peel out, and they don't even look at the van.

Yeah know what you mean my Previa has pissed off a few Camamro and Mustang owners in traffic. ;D

Honda should have just stuck to the CRX design with a few updated design changes. Have the HF model with they hybrid, DX with low end K series, then the Si with the hopped up K series with 6 speed tranny.

death to v6 camaros and mustangs!

My plans are still to get a crz in a few years. However ill be tossing all the hybrid shit away and do somethgin about that front end... Fuck its ugly in the face.
Anyone thing theres the chance theyd do a make over to it? Like the 1st gen to 2nd gen crx went through?

I still think it fails far too hard for me to want one. It weighs as much as my failboat accord, has a smaller engine, and is slower. Probably handles worse as well. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a 1g insight to defile with boost.

In a year or two if they're smart they'll release one in SI trim without the hybrid shit, which would free up a bit of weight and possibly lower the price, and with a k-series. If not, maybe they'll at least do a gas-only version with an R18. Being that they have 3 settings in the current one eco, sport, and some mid-grade shit, I think they were trying to release all 3 versions in one and failed.
I doubt it'll sell enough to put out a second iteration.
