Mugen CR-Z the actually hot one
 
http://www.autoguide.com/gallery/gal...-z-parts01.jpg

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?

its pointless



yet fan boys are jumping on the gay bandwagon

Nlkko 06-14-2011 09:43 AM

^ You also forget it's Fail-Wheel-Drive

It looks good. Everything else is bleh.

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...

Looks like the car the japanese homer simpson would build.

TypeRNammer 06-14-2011 11:28 AM

Ugh at the exhaust tip...

BaoTurbo 06-14-2011 11:55 AM

Looks attractive. Dats about it.

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.

MindBomber 06-14-2011 01:01 PM

The fuel efficiency should be much higher, other than that I love it.

I think the awesome sales speak for itself :troll:

orange7 06-14-2011 01:42 PM

will not buy one if I have the cash.

optiblue 06-14-2011 03:37 PM

argh, just let the CRZ die already! Make a Z2000 or something!

No. No there's not.

too_slow 06-14-2011 04:02 PM

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..

DriveHard 06-14-2011 04:23 PM

THAT THING IS UGLY, JUST LIKE SPOON CR93 WHEELS!

AVS_Racing 06-14-2011 08:41 PM

Shead 06-14-2011 10:05 PM

JoshuaWong 06-14-2011 11:23 PM

Spoon CR-Z is way nicer

orange7 06-15-2011 12:26 PM

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.

Djiban 06-20-2011 09:50 PM

^ what is the reason?

LP700-4 06-21-2011 01:13 PM
