I understand what companies and others are trying to do with these ideas, and I also know that we are getting better with how cars make power direct cylinder injection/laser ignition. But what ever you wanna do, to me if you don't have the money to support a sports car, and your worried about gas, then don't get one.
The CR-Z is a little too slow to be considered a sporty car. It gets great mileage, but it can barely merge on to highways without loosing it's eco-friendly edge. If it did 0-60 in 6.5-7 seconds, I'm sure it would have been more popular with enthusiasts since it could actually perform when you wanted it to. The FR-S will probably be considered a "sporty" car too, but I doubt it will go fast in a straight line.
