:clap: you guys are funny! Just think of it as another milestone and you'll be ok!

It's all good. :happy0180: It will (hopefully) be a much better car. It's good news for the FWD pocket rocket fanatics out there. Currently the CR-Z falls short of what it was supposed to be imo.


Also found this article just now.

No convertible, they should do Targa. I think, Targa CR-Z looks cool

the acura RDX has 4 cil. turbo engine, so honda has the feedback of how their next turbo engine should be. (i think)...

Man, if these article are indeed true, Honda is going all out with this CR-Z! :w00t:

No bueno on the targa! That failed with the Del Sol! :thumbdown:

I say the more the merrier! Seeing so many variants is a sign that Honda is trying to capture the younger crowd like how they did back in the 90's! :happy0180:

True! I guess I'm really down with conv and targas but good on Honda's behalf to weigh the options! :w00t:

RWDJunkie 12-09-2010 04:39 PM
My only concern with the convertible is the added weight that will come with it. I mean, the CR-Z is already kinda heavy for what it is, and the added weight to make the body more rigid won't be a good thing towards performance.



Anyways, (not directly related to the topic) I just stumbled on to this photoshopped CR-Z and wanted to share. Click the image for source.
I kinda like the Scirocco-ish widened rear end.

That does look sweet but pointless on the staggered wheels!?!

Look at the camber on that black hatch tho!! :eyebulge:

I do agree the turbo is a much better idea than the hybrid. There's nothing wrong with the Lea engine, it was the powertrain that was the problem. As it is a FWD Honda, I'd never buy it either way. But hopefully it works out better for Honda.

Honda NSX or bust...

fernan2 12-10-2010 03:18 AM

this is what the CR-Z should have been...Id even be trmepted into buying it if it was a factory option. K20 CR-Z

BoostJunkie 12-14-2010 07:22 AM
NSX FTW, this should have been the new NSX, come on Honda this would have sold like hot cakeshttp://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/IMG_5972.jpg
