I did like the original look of the front of the CRZ, the rear didn't look so great though. Honda seems to really be behind the curve now. A CRZ with an Si motor should have been an option from launch, not some afterthought now that they realize the BRZ is really exciting the market.
Keep in mind that Honda is also planning on redoing the S2000 platform, so they will likely have an awesome 200+hp, lightweight RWD car on the market. Just because a company makes a sporty FWD car shouldn't automatically exclude them from understanding how to make a sporty RWD car.
I think the AWD and RWD crowd are a little too hung up on sporty FWD cars and OMG THEY ARE SO TERRIBLE AND A DISGRACE TO CARS EVERYWHERE! Honestly I've driven and raced a slew of FWD platforms, and while sliding in a RWD car is fun, or feeling the grip of an AWD car is fun, when you are racing and you nail an apex, or place well in your class it's fun regardless of what you're driving. If you learn the techniques to make a FWD car fast, understand how to set it up to remove as much understeer as possible they can put down some really great times.
