Mugen CR-Z the actually hot one



a teaser from the good folks at Mugen. How does 200HP 0-60 in 6.6 second sound? All thanks to a healthy dose of supercharging on that 1.5L motor and moar electric assist than usual.

I really don't understand the appeal of the CR-Z. It's supposed to be sporty and economical. But:

It gets much poorer gas mileage than a hybrid.
It's has lackluster performance.
It's not sporty.
It's not particularly practical.

Whats the point of this car?

Lol 200hp for 6.6 seconds not impressed, and it will almost certainly wear quite an expensive price tag. and that wing is pretty rice/doesn't flow with the car IMO

jack of all trades appeal? don't forget how "green" it is to buy a new car in the first place lol What we need here are cheap diesel econoboxes not hybrids that get 40-50mpg...

I think it has a place in the market today even if it is a small one. There are hybrid buyers that want a sportier driving experience and there might be GTI/MS3/WRX drivers that want a hybrid.

Heck even if it is FWD, the 6 speed makes it plenty sporty already. I test drove one and the stick is comparable to the one on the SI and almost like an s2k.

So they managed to throw in more weight, to lower the F/E of the engine... Why not just drop in the damn K20 engine from the SI into it already? I'm sure the engine is lighter than the 1.5S/C + hybrid powertrain...

GRrrrr.. I think the CRZ is an attractive little coupe.. In terms of real-world usefulness, I would take the Veloster over this..

how many crz have you guys seen on the road?

I've only seen 1 so far.

there is a reason that so few of them are on the road.
