....how does this two door econo hatch relate to the 5 door CT or luxury sedan HS?

Either way it looks like an Odyssey that someone stepped on and then put in a shrink machine.

Toyota and Lexus do not market nor intend to have the Prius/HS 250 be sporty cars. Honda has deliberately marketed this car as a fun hybrid and has the audacity to say it is somehow the successor to the CRX. I would hope a small 2 seater drives sportier than a tall 5 door and a tall sedan. Its a shame its SLOWER than the HS. That is a joke.

What we get is ugly, based on a previous car, with the old and half *** hybrid IMA system.

Do I think its great to have another hybrid available? Yes.

Is this another ugly joke? Yes.

I mean we already got the failure Insight now we are getting a CR-Z using the SAME engine/hybrid tech? It makes sense fiscally but its an utter dud to me.

All the unicorn crap and everyone pointing and laughing at Honda was soo 2009, 2010 is the year of Toyota.
I like it looks cool.

Any car can be modded to make power. What's pathetic is the stock output. Some people rather not modify brand new cars.

While the Bisimoto CR-Z is impressive, I would hope it makes power with upgraded forged pistons and valvetrain. Modified, I like the way the CR-Z looks.

At the point of having so much power from the IC engine, the IMA system becomes useless unless it is modified as well. Having an additional 13hp to a 500whp car makes no real difference at all.

Sorry but you are posting about a car that debuted this week and then complaining about posts made months ago? The car didn't EXIST.

This is not how one introduces themselves around here please watch your tone. You are then talking about a V-8 not produced and never will be produced on a concept from 5 years ago.

This. Its heavily modifed, shall we post every modifed vehicle? It is impressive but no one is going to buy a 21k CR-Zzzzzz to dump at least 10k in an engine.

What are performance figures? 0-60? 0-100? 0-150? Skipdad? Etc?
