We finally have hard figures on the 1.5-liter engine's output (in JDM spec), with the diminutive four-cylinder putting out 112 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) on its own and another 14 hp from its electric motor. Just as importantly, the engine creates 107 lb-ft of torque (at 4,800 rpm) with the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system boosting that by another 57 lb-ft at an oh-so-low 1,000 rpm. Coupled with either a six-speed manual or CVT gearbox, the CR-Z nets a relatively uninspiring 0 to 62 mph time of 9.7 seconds.


Sounds like a ton of fun like the CRX.

weak sauce


i wouldnt exactly call 0-60mph 9.7 seconds fun

[bcedhk]

too bad canadian version will look like crap ( if we ever will have it here)

Ironic considering your name is Mugen Evolution. :p

[Euro7r]

Pointless. This car is weaker than a Civic. OMGGWTFFBBQ.

We will have it here. You can pre-order one right now at Honda.

[!Aznboi128]

the idea of this car's pretty cool, will consider

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wats tat gotta do with this slow car

too slow u follow me around like a dog failing for..? :rolleyes::rolleyes:


i get a fail becuz i said this car is weak sauce


u are funny faggot

[Onassis]

I actually didn't fail you, and if you were a true Mugen fan you would understand the history of the CRX and how Honda is revitalizing it with the CRZ.

Funny ? Maybe not but I have my days.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

i said too slow not you



just because one can be a fan of a certain brand or item, doesnt mean that person will appreciate every products coming out of that specific brand

Holy shit man, don't take too slow's fail seriously. He probably just disagrees with (as do I) regarding the speed of the car. It doesn't have to have the greatest horsepower to be fun (even though the initial design of the CRX was for gas mileage first, if i recall correctly).

[hJe6]

if it actually arrives in canada, would it be our first manual hybrid?? o.o
manual should be fun on this thing...can't wait for mugen to come out with kits!!

[RabidRat]

so yeah, k20a swap anyone?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

[TheSalesman]

From what I have heard, it should arrive sometime mid 2010.
We have one person preorder one so far.

What do you think the expected MRSP is ?

[TheSalesman]

What do you think the expected MRSP is ?

That is still unknown. We usually get prices about a month before the actual launch.

9.7 seconds... Honda/Acura literally has nothing in line right now that interests me. S2000 will likely be my last Honda car (Maybe in future get my hand on an NSX).

[cococly]

I am not liking the rear :)

[.Renn.Sport]

fuck the Hybrid.... they need to make a Type R

[Timpo]

how many seats? 2 or 4?

I know JDM CRX had 4 seats...

it kinda looks like the overpriced ZDX but at a much smaller size.
Seriously, who would pay 50k+ for a ZDX?

[BMW135i]

Cant wait till it actually release here.

[Peturbo]

if it actually arrives in canada, would it be our first manual hybrid?? o.o

Nope, original insight actually came in 5 speed also.
So basically, the first ever hybrid car that came into production was a 5 speed.

[dachinesedude]

who cares if its too slow, looks like a fun econ-box, if it starts under 20k then it would be a good buy

[3seriesBeeM]

wouldnt be a bad car to have if the price is right. gas mileage will be great and like all hondas it will be reliable

[twitchyzero]

^ which hybrid would ever go for 20k in 2010? none
would this be the first honda car to have more torque than hp?

[hJe6]

[Peturbo]

oops my bad :p

This one? The current insight doesn't come in standard.

[unit]

weak sauce


i wouldnt exactly call 0-60mph 9.7 seconds fun

hey, thats faster than the old crx :D

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

lol ok i will play nice



but seirously with 2010 coming up i would SERIOUSLY expect they build something more sporty not a ____ fill in the blank vehicle like that

[orange7]

I think if they price this car at ~18k, it will sell pretty well. Anything higher, it will be stealing business with the insight. Or if it's priced at the prius, no one will buy it since the prius is much nicer inside and out.

[tofu1413]

so yeah, k20a swap anyone?

+2


should be about 20k~27k price range.


they come quite loaded supposedly. should be a crisp cornering machine.

[Pretz]

looking good!

[Euro7r]

Who the hell would want the CR-Z. CR-Z looks like the ugly ass Honda Insight + Z4 headlights.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

those that likes slow cars

LOL! This has to be a joke! Just when I thought Lexus SC conv. has the least rear seat legroom, the cr-z beats it.

[orange7]

delete.. double post

The US version will not have the back seats. This is a jdm one. Same thing with the jdm crx which had back seats. Pretty much useless but at least you can use it as storage or something.

that's good to hear. I'd rather have more trunk space than some useless backseats
