Honda has just unveiled the production version of the CR-Z hybrid, looking like and taking after the original CRX. The CRX, after all, was introduced as an efficient model, that quickly became a favorite of enthusiasts and tuners alike due to its sporty driving dynamics.
The CR-Z uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor to make 122-hp at 6000 rpm and 128 ft-lbs of torque at 1000 to 1500 rm when mated to a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission or 122-hp and 123 ft-lbs of torque with a CVT automatic. As for fuel-economy, it’s rated at 36-mpg city and 38-mpg highway.
The CR-Z comes with a three-mode driving system, with buttons on the steering wheel to choose Sport, Normal and Economy driving. Sport mode delivers a more responsive throttle, with tighter steering and the tachometer lights up bright red when in Sport model. Econ mode delivers optimum fuel efficiency with reduced pedal feel. The air conditioning system will also reduce its lag on the engine in Econ mode. Normal mode delivers standard settings, and in both Normal and Econ mode, the tachometer display will light up blue or green depending on how the vehicle is driven – with a green display representing the most fuel-efficient driving.
Like the Insight, the CR-Z offers and Eco Guide to help driver’s keep track of fuel economy.
Two trim levels will be offered in the U.S., a base CR-Z and well-equipped EX model. The six-speed manual is standard, as is Vehicle Stability Assist, an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with six speakers, automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, remote entry and cruise control. The CR-Z EX includes HID Headlights fog lights, a 360-Watt AM/FM/CD premium audio system with seven speakers including subwoofer, Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. EX models will get the option for navigation.

look at the size of the lights (both front and back) on the red usdm one. The front bumper fascia makes it look like a retard.

[Kalize]

WOW

[Kamui712]

i am not amused

[Timpo]

USDM model once again gets shorted.

shorted?

I don't think they would actually make the car short.

they just won't put back seats, that's what happend to CRX and FD RX-7.

[Timpo]

^Thank you for confirming that the CR-Z is an EPIC FAILURE

[Spectre_Cdn]

:facepalm:

[TheSalesman]

I would take this over an insight anyday...

[TypeRNammer]

http://sohc.vtec.net/article_files/858213/09tokyo_tov-0151.jpg

They could of done it as a 2+2 for a USDM model for once.

Too bad Honda, try again.

[mama]

CRX reborn!

[orange7]

Honda should have put in a turbo instead of an electric motor.

..and make it rwd.











nvm, if they did do that then they wouldn't be known as Honda.

[cococly]

Across the entire range of Honda/Acura 2010 car fleet, There are NO RWD-only cars/trucks/Vans at all!

:Pbjt:


Are they only placing the Turbo I-4 on the RDX?

[boostfever]

stupid and pointless car.

I would take this over an insight anyday...

that doesnt say much. does it?

[The_AK]

no, its not you.

Honda Inspire...ation

[smk]

honda must've hired the designer of the aztek

[bassistb]

You can forget about reverse parking for sure.

[TouringTeg]

damn this thing is ugly

[VK79]

no, its not you.

Might be an optical illusion but the rear brake disc look larger than the front.

[Meister1982]

I don't want to be like Timpo, but this render of the Mugen CRZ is pretty sick

http://www.crzero.com/articles/wp-content/gallery/leaked-japanese-cr-z-brochure/mugen-crz-brochure-1.jpg

[synchrocone]

1982 beat me to it, but it looks alright lowered and with upgraded
wheels. What concerns me is how many neighborhoods nowadays are layed out
with speed bumps. I've even seen them inside underground parking lots!

Bottoming out of a well-balanced car on this now modern day debacle is just
plain and simple, wrong.
For now, Ill pass.

[spoon.ek9]

hmm.. overall this is a disappointment. when i was still working at honda, we were all excited (or at least a little intrigued) about the cr-z being released. i swear, had this drivetrain been released in the original CRX there'd be a lot less hate towards it haha. but hey, honda moving forward.... sort of.

the mugen cr-z looks pretty sweet though! can't really see the rear too well though.

[wahyinghung]

What's up with Honda recently and it's fugly designs.......

not to be sexist, but I believe honda hired a woman as a designer

[rcoccultwar]

not to be sexist, but I believe honda hired a woman as a designer

Is this the first female chief of design for an automobile?

If so, this is indeed a revolutionary.

[XshimaX]

I guess honda wouldn't be stealing sales from the FT-86 with this thing
