Default You have to see the CR-Z in person to like it

I think the pictures around on the board make it look a lot worse than it really is. I thought it looked pretty sweet.

I took a couple pics at the auto show yesterday. What do you guys think?

Hopefully they (Honda) display it at the DC Auto Show at the end of the month.

They'd better bring it to the Denver show. Last two years they had the concept touring Europe forever (Some of they're staff on hand didn't even know what it was...).

I suppose I can wait for it in dealerships too, though... Just seems a ways off.

I would bet low 20s for the ex minus navigation and 18ish for the base.

If its higher than that most people I think would opt for an Si.

I worked the Honda booth back in December (LA auto show) and was sad it wasnt there. Wanted to get a good look at it.

The upside is the FCX clarity comes in a color that is amazing....blackcherry metalic with colorshift/light angle...loved it.

The CRZ should sell well in Cali - dont know about other places...being the only MANUAL trans hybrid on sale makes it an attractive one I think.

It's on their list, so I'm expecting to see it. Hopefully they'll have it open for people to sit in it, but we'll find out soon.

History has a funny way of repeating itself. "IF" there is a second gen CRZ, I bet it will be considerably better. That's what happened with the original CRX. I am going to wait.

If a Honda Accord and a Honda Insight had sex, then this CR-Z would be the kid...this car looks like an Accord front end with a Insight rear end....go look at the pix of both cars and you will see what i mean...over all the concept and mugen model looks better then the US model.

Very simple and seems more eco friendly but gotta say honda's upping the design on the dash cluster... looks sexier each model..

I think it's a good lookin car in pics, but the car's specs just don't do anything for me.
