More pictures of the Honda CR-Z

As you can see, this is the Japanese version. With a small backseat we won’t even be getting as an option.
Which will make the car pretty expensive to insure. (Try to call your insurance company and get a quote on a 2 seater car…)
I think I still like the car. A bit…
It’s just too bad the US won’t be getting the glass roof either.
And the 33mpg rating will really hurt it.
A hybrid should be getting at least 40. Even if it claims to be sporty.
It’s just too bad….
So basically the Mk1 Insight all over again?
Smart one, Honda!
I think its a great looking car. BRING THE BACK SEAT THOUGH!
This thing is dead on arrival. The fit is a far superior automobile and gets much better mpg. Drop the hybrid crap, add a civic SI engine and you'll have a winner; otherwise this thing will not sell.
I saw this at NAIAS, and they are doing us a favor not putting a back seat for the US market. However it's not the CRX pocket rocket I had hoped for, at least not now. Honda, put a Ks20 in this and you will have a hit.
Having seen one in person at the Toronto Auto Show this past week, I can say its not horrible looking in person.
The milage, lack of rear seats (no matter how un-usable), and cool options are what will hold it back.
Im sure it will find plenty of buyers though, as my video of it on YouTube got about 1000 hits on the first day!
