honda brought a cr-z to the annual niagara falls, on crx meet.

not my pics.

 

Nice moobs! So, have they been released in NA, yet?

 

Per the official press release, August 24th.

I was there too; looked very nice. I won't debate the hp, as that's already been done to death - my complaint is that the sculpted rear end on the sides carves out a lot of possible storage space, which has always been one of the great things about the crx. Now, that may be an advantage for fuel efficiency, I don't know, but it sure does reduce the practicality of the whole package, imho.

 

I don't really see the CR-Z as a practical car in the sense that it can carry a lot of things or a lot of people.

Think about your daily commute, how many times a year do you drive by yourself with very little cargo in tow because you are driving to and from somewhere like work.

Thinking about it regarding myself, I spend 85%-90% of my driving solo with at most a suitcase.
