Why have 200hp FWD over 200hp RWD? I would imagine the price difference wouldn't be that far off either.

Different strokes for different folks! Lose the wing and that thing would look sweet!

I got to admit, I'm a Honda guy so a turbo CR-Z is definitely a good thing.

i'm not a huge CRZ fan, but that one looks okay. i'd still take an FA5 over that any day!

Sorry, but "Honda = NA" in my brain, so "Honda = Turbo" doesn't sit well w me.

It does sound interesting, but I have to agree with ichitaka05 -- factory boosted Honda sounds weird to me. Also, I still hate the CR-Z's Dust Devil shape.
