CR-Z debut at detroit auto show

[klyph]

They told us they were remaking the CRX, but really they took a second gen insight and made it a coupe.


FAIL.

22K on a fully loaded civic? F THAT! I don't think I could pay more then 15K for a civic even if brand new!

I meant an Accord.

Wait, what the fuck happened here?? It got fugly, too!

US bumper regulations happened. The crz was designed and packaged in japan for the japanese market. The big crash bars needed to make this a 5 star safety rated vehicle contributes to the extra front and rear overhang....

Car companies are like a giant aircraft carrier. Once you set them in 1 direction, it takes awhile to correct the course. Development for a model starts years 3-4 years before production. The market can change alot in 4 years. Everyone I work with is pissed about the direction the company has been going since 2007+. Look to the 2012+ full model change vehicles for the company going back to it's roots.

at least there's hope

though its hard to believe so looking at the mess they just produced

even 3-4 years ago, i dont see how this would have been practical to anyone

we get the "new direction in 5 years" bullshit all the time. pretty much the only thing new i would buy right now is either a nissan (gt-r, new silvia) or a bmw (3-series, m3). There aren't a lot of cars out there that i love.

one thing i do know is that honda sucks ass right now. the 3 cars i would buy from honda: nsx, s2k, and CTR just aren't available here. they are really fucking up on this one.

Aside from all the senseless weight in the fit, it's a good car.

What I really want is a coupé Fit. Imagine a 2000 lb 117 hp honda. Oh wait. Nevermind. We already had one.
