Honda CR-Z concept

Conversation 6 comments

1. Wow – as a past CRX owner and one following the rumors of a possible new CRX – this is exactly what I had hoped for. Question is??? Is it real ? Honda you listening? I’ll buy one if you make one…….

2. I wouldn’t buy it because it’s surely going to be FWD, but it’s the best-looking Honda I’ve seen in years.

3. And Honda comes out with yet another front end look. BTW, the front looks nice, but the rear end looks stupid.

4. Did definately one-ups that scirocco concept…..except that I happened to find THIS:

   BUT the confusing thing is that I also found this (which may just be an artist rendering of some sort, because it just looks like a photoshoped Eos):

   Which looks better than that shaved down GTI we saw….this takes cues from the last gen design…which is a GOOD thing.

5. 19 inch wheels on this thing translate to a much larger car then the old CRX. I have my doubts that this is a concept of Honda’s dedicated small hybrid. When that car debuts, it will be sold as the “dedicated small hybrid”. Honda mentions that this is a hybrid, but I expect their hybrid world car (claimed to be a family car in 2006) to be a four door.

6. More angles here: I’m not sure about the styling, but it seems like a good idea.
