@josephbutch Its comeing out in 2012 (or 2011 in normal time, you understand how car compainies release a year ahead) thats what I have heard. Honda is rumored to be retuning the Civic to its roots, cheap fast and well built
a 6 speed manual tranny on a hybrid... wow honda has really done some homework... but as someone else commented we all know that the production model wont be anything as good as the concept... sighhh.....
@devja71 i dont see why they always change the rims for production versions. a nice set of rims can alter a car's look drastically. look at the Lexus LF CH hybrid concept or whatever it was called. the gold hatch with the sexy ass rims. if the production version looks exactly like that, i bet they sell millions. If Honda kept this car looking like this, and gave it a bit more power, they would have sold way more than they will with the production car. i guarantee it. rims dont cost THAT much.
@07SuperchargedSS -yes true. actually i was thinking about econo cars in general.'look at the new chev overrated volt. the concept looked real neat and hot-rod ish. then the production car comes out and it's just another boring zero of a car. to steer us toward gas guzzlers or whatever else makes THEM money. just so bloody fed-up by now i wished gm went down in a flaming spiral. oh well who really cares about them anymore anyway. this honda looks exc i hope it takes off good
Although I love the toyota MR2 and the honda S2000 I don't think they'll be coming back. They both sold horribly and that is why the respective manufacturers stopped those models. Also, Acura's RSX was done...sorta out of confusion. They were honda's luxury brand and now that they've straightened out their brand identity, i doubt a car like the RSX would come back too. The NSX was sort of a disappointment for some (although i personally like it) to be continued...
As I was saying...The honda NSX was a bit of a disappointment for some because when honda designed the NSX they did not go all out on their supercar venture. Instead they made a car that was not full all out sports but seem to have some of the extra amenities that would serve in day to day things such as picking up groceries and what seemed to be a soccer mommy super car.
This would be great if they made it like the civic as far as offer different trims. Obviously no type r in the states but at least an si. The new cr-z si. Yea that sounds nice... With at least 200hp (because we all know Honda won't make a damn car with anymore than that nowadays) and LSD. Not everyone wants a slow ass hybrid you know. Can't wait to see a mugen version too.
I like that CR-Z but not in white, and the back of the side window, I hope they lover that on the official design. I wonder how much it will cost. It looks amazing.
"Looks like someone from the Honda team likes them Audi's... "
Actually, this is an old design. Check for more video's of this car. You will see that it was first shown 3 years ago (2007)... in other words "someone from the Volvo team likes them Honda's". ; )
FOR YOUR INFORMATION MR EXPERT... They also made an ACCORD Type R!!!! However, having said that, I have since learned this will be a Hybrid car so the chances are they won't build a Type R version.
In the method of intervening the work of an electric motor, the characteristic changes. According to the article ｢It becomes like turbo without turbo lag. There is confidence. ｣
Sure, it has a rather puny 1.5 petrol engine, but its also assisted by an electric motor when needed. I'm sure the electric will help out with 40+hp. It wont be slow.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
AHH.... really, can i get a link, I was seriously considering buying this car for college. Originally I was going to purchase a Nissan 370Z but had a fight over it with the parents. Then it was the Audi A4, but with only 212 HP Engine and $40,000 just for a navagation and premium trim, no thank you good serious and then came this car, but if it gets less than 210 BHP, no thank, i still with the 370z and kill the enviorment
Overall styling is simply acceptable. The hood length, hood height, driver and passenger seat height ratio is way off. You won't be able to see ANYTHING directly in front of this car. BAD design. They need to chop a foot and a half off the snoot and slope it down.
I own a DC5 (RSX for the Americans) and the car has the same bonnet feature. The bonnet slops downwards sharply from the cab forward windscreen which you cant see the front of the car. It doesnt make judging distances or visibility too difficult. Its just something that you need to get used to.
haha yeah.. i'm not quite such a fan of having those lights behind me either, honestly. good point. .. b u t with that said it's a fairly small blemish, all things considered imo.
correct me if i'm wrong... but a car's blind spot is defined by what you can not see from the mirrors. so if none of you have sat down in this car and seen this for your self, how can you determine if it has "bad blind spots"... If you've ever sat in a 1st gen honda insight, you know if you adjust your mirrors there virtually is *no* blind spot. partly due to the large mirrors, with help from the cut-off tear drop hatch and the short body.
Honda knows that there is a blind spot because they said that they installed video cameras for rear view mirrors in the prototype. I really like this car and feel that the CRV was one of Honda's best cars
and besides.. dude. of COURSE, you'd need a camera to see your said blindspot a foot behind *any* vehicle. It just seems a silly thing for people to gripe on.
I'm not thrilled by the mpg rumours i've heard kicked around as of today's reveling in tokyo, but having driven this cars predecessor for 6 years (1 gen insight), all the more reason i will go so far to predict that driving this car will be hella fun to drive. small, turns on a dime, light.. and electric torque is instant, folks.
I read a while back that the prototype had video cameras for rear view mirrors but I doubt that it will make it onto the street version. I'm a Honda guy I've had 5 and wouldn't mind owing this. When you own a 2 seater you are the one among friend who doesn't have to drive everybody around :)..
We will see. What bothers me is the MPG rumors I've seen about the car. 32-35 mpg ish? That seems terribly low, especially with the Civic getting better MPG on the highway and nearly decade old technology of the old Insight getting almost twice that. Let's hope it does a bit better.
I think what Honda is trying to do is make this car more sporty than economical, either way it'll be a big hit here in Los Angels with all the Hondaphiles, can't wait to get my hands on one and go for a test drive..... could you imagine a Turbo version with a cold air intake and milage as you say. NICE !!!
True, but the old CRX this was based from got up to like 50 mpg! Granted, I'm sure this car is a bit larger and safer, but still that was without the hybrid battery. I'd like to test drive one, though! I'm learning how to drive stick in the tC mentioned earlier so by the time this comes out I'll be ready. No doubt it will have a CVT or Auto transmission to appeal to most Americans who can't/don't drive stick. But if it were my money, I think the new Insight would be a better deal overall.
I guess it depends on what your looking for in a car but from what I see this is offering a little bit of both economy and sport, in my eyes best of both worlds. I've had 5 speed sticks in all my cars because I ride a lot of bike and need something to do with both my feet. Best way to get use to a stick is to put yourself on a hill and get the feel of the clutch and gas petal ... thats what I did....although I've never driven a 6 speed before It's just a matter of having that extra gear on frwy
I doubt a 6 speed is much different than a 5 speed it's just getting used to the new configuration of the reverse and 6th gear. I am learning stick because my car is a stick haha. Only 19 so it doesn't make me look like a fool. I've gotten to the point where I can drive around but I still gotta practice hills and downshifting.
I think this definitely looks like a good car and idea...I'll wait to see the production version and see its specs. Glad Honda brought back the CRX design it looks great.
A sixth gear on the freeway is like letting the rubber band go, take your time and put yourself on a hill and practice. I couldn't see myself going back to a automatic, shifting is so much more fun. When I was a kid I use to watch the school bus driver going through the gears and that really inspired me to drive a manual.
it depends who you are and where you drive with the six speed. im in canada alberta, things are very spread out, lots of 70mph driving, so a 6th gear allows the engine to run at lower revolutions and consume much less gas. the only disadvantage to the 6th gear is it weighs that much more (not very much more) and costs a little more to manufacture.
