If you are interested you can actually shoot me an email or pm, we have a strong relationship with Norm Reeves Honda out here in Southern California and could get you one if you wanted shipped to you!

I will shoot you a pm!

Bisi are you guys looking into modifying / replacing / assisting the electric motor to gain horsepower or are you guys focusing on the combustion engine part of it?
This unfornately we cannot touch on too much, but just know as we get further along and we get things developed we will release teasers!

Five does seem like a lot for a single dealership, considering they only plan on selling a few thousand units in the first M.Y.
I have seen a few out here in Socal on carriers, but none on lots yet! Although we were the first team to officially get there CR-Z from Honda America!

I personally think they would have made more money making a modern crx hf that is real good on gas and also putting out a nice SI model for us motor heads
I think it is good for all of us! Embracing clean technology will be needed if we continue with the way we treat the planet! Hopefully Honda will follow suit of Toyota and bring back a commemorative edition of the CRX!

Yeah, we got that pull! LOL, we haven't had it long but its been making its rounds already! It has already seen the track once lol!

For anyone that is seriously considering getting a CR-Z shoot me a PM, due to our connections with Norm Reeves Honda here in Southern California, we can get you setup with a CR-Z delivered to you!

Not sure of the results, Bisi and Hedi drove it on the track.

My impression moving it around at the shop...


...can I return my 2011 Camry? I want one of these but honestly its technically a coupe lol. Overall the styling is top notch! But the rear seats are no bueno for anyone older that 6 years old!

My thought is its an amazing piece of machinerey and that it is simply the prelude to what is to come!

By saying hybrid is the way of the future...What exactly are you looking to get out of this vehicle Bisi? I would guess a track car of some sort or just bolt-on street car?

I say pitch Honda on getting you an FCX and do some development on hydrogen parts too :D

I dont really think its holding us back as much as it is something we have to figure out how to work around.

We are looking forward to developing new parts that will give hybrid enthusiasts a bit of go while still retaining mpg quality.

Why dont you read from page one and look a little deeper, I never said we were cleared to release number did I?

The vehicle has been tinkered with at the track so what results are you seeking exactly?

Drove one yesterday I will say I am impressed. Not too shabby straightline performance given it is a Hybrid and completely stock. Autostop feature is one I am used to from all the other Honda Hybrids. I drove an EXNAVI Silver storm Auto equipped car. Took a few exit ramps at 60 or so and while the rear end tended to push it was really predictable feeling oodly similar to the S2 rear feel. Being a CRX lover( currently drive 2) have owned like 20 or so I love the style. THe front bumper is screaming to be stuffed full of intercooler. Bigmouth Subie style. As far as a performance CRZ goes in my dream filled head, I would love to see the 2013 SiT with RDX powerplant/6spd gearbox now that is still just a dream in MY head. Either way I am excited to see what you all come up with in the performance and styling way. I want one for a DD. As always Bisi is in the forefront of Honda performance. I was so glad to see the early release to Bisi. Now I am like a kid on Dec. 24 waiting to see whats to come.

Think of it as a huge swaybar holding the rear wheels together. Seems more appealing that way.

I did like 4 times in the last 3 weeks. Sounds like you need a little nap. Besides that im sure every one here would like to see some kind of numbers weather its drag time or dyno numbers.

Having someone like Bisi and the gang priviledged with the chance to work on one is good enough for me. There is a relationship and trust between them and Honda, why would they risk that for some anxious HT'ers? That kind of thing takes years to build, and a lot of hard work.

Take your time op, produce some good products, and SOME of us will wait patiently for the results.

Doing what properly? You said think of the axlebeam as a swaybar, and it doesn't act like a sway bar at all.
