They are offically released to dealers today!!! just went out and looked at a few!

 

you're 3 days late.

 

I sat in one last Saturday in ferndale, MI he's more than 3days late lol

 

they couldn't be sold until August 24th in the US.

 

we have them locally here in so cal... they look great

 

Hmm.....Took one for lunch last Saturaday (8/21) for a test ride. We got them few days earlier and only sold one that day. Maybe because we still sell avg 400 cars a month (not including used cars) at the dealership I'm at.

 

I just got back from test driving a 6 speed CR-Z... i liked it... I liked it a lot. Build Quality is what you should expect from a car that comes from the suzuka factory, and that is TOP notch. It's not completely a slug, but you won't be winning any races in one until you swap in a k series.

One funny thing is that the car comes with three driving modes, if your in eco mode and holding the throttle consistent, and you hit the performance mode, the car jumps forward like you are flooring it. I hope this isn't going to catch some drivers out.

Nearly 3200 lbs is a bit to get moving and turn with stock suspension, and the car does have a slight tail happy body roll to it... but I think a great comment that I have heard before from other reviewers is... WHY? why does this car exist? why does it NOT have independent rear suspension? Why isn't a K series available?

Why oh Why...

 

3200 lbs? i thought it was 2500-2600.

 

I don't think there are ANY cars that weigh 2500lb anymore.

My type-r was 2550lb and that was only because the type-r had weight removed from the standard integra.

Even my 2001 s2000 was 2800 and change.

inside door sticker of the six speed said 3100 and change. with high seven hundred of that being in the rear.

 

you sure that wasn't gross vehicle weight?

curb weight according to honda's site is 2650 lbs for the 6 speed.

 

yes... GVW. My bad

 

that's different than curb weight. that's the maximum allowed weight the vehicle can carry including weight of car.

 

I think the stickers on the door are SO confusing - most folks think that's the raw weight of the car, but it includes passengers and fuel I think.

In fact I had a different dealer read that weight off a TSX and tell me it was over 4000 lbs (which it's definitely NOT).

2650 is actually pretty light for a 2010 car. I'm impressed.

I was hoping at least for independent rear suspension... but...
