Honestly I would rather they put independent rear suspension and a conventional engine into a CR-Z model over just slapping a turbo 1.6l into the current chassis.
An R18 or even just an L15 would be fine.

I'm in love with the CRZ's looks and would love to have a honda that held its own in these turbo-times. Right now though the k20 is dated and to finally see them really jump on the I-4 turbo wagon would be kinda awesome. Not sure about chassis though, haven't heard many people comment on it since it's so slooooooow.
I'm a huge lover though of small/light cars with less power than huge camaros that can't handle for sh*t on an autox track.

I don't trust Autocar. They report all sorts of malarkey.
I want to believe, though. My checkbook stands at the ready.

You know.....
For all the shxt talking on Honda lately, we've got the potential for a turbo CR-Z and all the new Civic models about to come out. Ruckus came back for 2011, PCX just came out. Not really that much to complain about.

But no more B16s and they don't have a 500 hp car that gets 50 mpg while costing under 20k and weighing as much as a CRX HF with Volvo safety ratings
