Honda CR-Z Production Update

well. luv the concept, the blue interior lights (they're awesome), the front, esp. the audi lights. but the back looks like those cars from the 80s, and I wonder why they still went with the hand brake, they did well with experimenting with the hand brake with CRV and Odyssey..

I hope the model should inherits Insight's spitit meaning experimental hybrid attempt such as aluminum-plastic body structrue, mild hybrid with an small lighium-ion battery, LED headlamps etc. Price must be lower than the entry level Audi TT coupe.

i hope they have a gas version as well.. k20 please

To me it looks like an art student tried to do their own interpretation of the next generation Mazda RX-8 and gave it a taller deck lid. I also see a little Lexus IS250 in the headlights and front-end proportions. Just not very original IMO but then again, I have never been crazy about the looks of most Hondas. I actually prefer Acuras for their slightly edgier look and this vehicle seems to more on the "soft" side for my tastes. I can see where some will probably like the look because it is different. However, I don't think it would age well if it went into production. Like one of those vehicles you see on the street years after it has been taken out of production and think to yourself "what were they thinking?" - Especially the rear end!

I saw this car in Detroit this year, and it was a well executed design, that I hope they build. The back of the design is on purpose, Honda made a mistake when they dropped the CRX years ago, and this car, even more than the Insight could serve as the spiritual successor to that well loved vehicle. Moreover, the proportions on this car are better in person than many of Hondas recent offerings suchs as the Civic sedan, the Element, and the latest US Accord. All things being equal, this would go a long way to stepping in where the Prelude and the Toyota Celica left off, with some added environmental street cred as well. Peace!

honda seem to keep coming up with concept cars but they never seem to be putting anything into production, come on guys great looking concpts but no evidence of progrssion

The front of this car looks so reminiscent of the Quattroporte..no?

isnt this supposed to become the new crx? the back is too tall and heavy in respect to the flat edgy front end

that body with a s2000 engine would be sweet
