Honda CR-Z @ 2009 Tokyo Auto Show

[gtaspecialist900]

VTEC just gone green yo!

[kkage2]

hope to god this car has some type of sport variant..

[areager]

"frony punny 1.3 to 1.5L engine"...

[sugarnuts420]

Lexus LFA wannabe

[lucirz]

front looks nice, but back looks gay

[lexusES350h]

They need to make a sedan form of this

[Niche79]

good looking but holy fuck slow and not worth my time. Need an engine swap to make me really look at going to my honda dealership.

[yuyusuck]

..120hp this should get a 2.3liter 4cyl turbiocharged engine

[Ronnie51026]

It looks cool, but performance from a 1.5 liter engine is just asking too much.

[russiaviation]

To me, once again, Honda has offering a car the you can have "BOTH WORLD" aka performance and fuel saving! This is the first attempt from Honda and they are spot-on, indeed! Some complained about the 6500 rpm redline, but that is more than enough for most driver, and the electric motor will help the car overcome the lack of tourqe usually happens to a small engine! To me, the only improvement I like for my CRZ are the 18" tire+wheels combo and coil over suspension, please! DAMN, I LOVE THIS CAR!

[davidchoyyaohui]

i think everyone wants a sports car but it uses too much fuel so this hybrid sports car would be perfect for sport car lovers!

[russiaviation]

@davidchoyyaohui ....Yes, you r right, indeed !!!

[CRXJDM88]

its kind of funny honda siad that if you look at the cr-z it looks just like the 1988 to 1991 crx lol funny it looks nothing like the crx i think i like the crx more then the cr-z funny tho they say if you look at the cr-z its like looking at the crx ha ha ha ha ha ha ha so funny the front end looks like a s2000 and the back looks like a honda lnsight honda got to stop saying it looks like the crx coz it dose not

[Aewire]

@CRXJDM88 well as a matter of fact it does look like a crx.

[teabag92887]

honda design is getting better

[KeepingModern]

Enough about the horsepower, let them finish the production first people!

[AcousticDude122]

This car will fail for this price. You want a NEW Japanese sports coupe I'd invest in the new "Toyobaru" FT-86. Rear wheel drive, boxer engine, 200hp, $20k.

My 94 Integra GSR is more impressive than this CRZ junk and it cost $6,000 used with white leather moonroof and 180hp manual tranny. Honda's performance division died when the S2k and NSX died

[KeepingModern]

Those engineers are still working for the company, it is not dead until those guys retire. They are getting very old though. And of course Mr.Honda himself no longer heads the company.

[sietube2008]

I think this one will sell really well in US market.

[sunnysidedown04]

Everyone's bashing the 120hp, but honestly, i bet this is going to be a really light little car, and that 120hp will do pretty well for it.

[itsvuman]

Just waiting for someone to swap a K20 into it...

[subzer0l]

why put a 6 speed in a 120hp car...

[maxcantin1]

for a better fuel economie ;) this is a car who's supose to have a great fuel economie so with 6 speed you are able to got a better MPG

[Ge0vone]

This front looks sooo nice....to bad its not the production one

[vtecboi18]

u do know its front wheel drive?

[Ge0vone]

Yes sir, I do.

[Toolband42O]

@vtecboi18 Almost every Honda made is FWD

[vtecboi18]

yea i know i replayed to the wrong post so after he replayed i didn't say anything lol

[apt62]

120hp? Another great looking Japanese car lack of hp...

[vtecboi18]

lack of hp its a hybrid and its ff its not gonna have 500 hp stock u know lol

[apt62]

I know it's a Hybrid. The original Cr-X has the same hp and the same mileage and that car was introduce 20 years ago!! So what the purpose of this car? Honda called this the "sports coupe hybrid" whats so "sporty" about it when it only has 120hp?

[vtecboi18]

maybe to get all the crx fans off there back drop a k20 in the thing and u good

[apt62]

Honda should offer options for the buyers, like Civic offers Si and hybrid version.

[vtecboi18]

they might they have done stuff like the before like release a new trim model later in the year might as well the thing looks soo much like a crx

[SiLvErLaNcErZ]

looks almost like an audi r8 or tt...

[Sethosaurusrex]

This would be a sick car...if it wasn't a hybrid.

[MrPaparazzziii]

will this car also come in auto or just manual???

[andreakatickles1]

cheap low budget cars

[pborty]

1.3 to a 1.5 liter is not much larger, still puny

[EpiDemic117]

Combine that with a Torquey ass motor as well as a very lightweight frame you get a car that packs a punch! Now if they could just keep the design and put a 2.0 DOHC VTEC motor and re badge it as the CRZ, Guess what? THE EPICNESS IS BACK!!!

[TheArmada888]

Good luck with the electrical.

[EpiDemic117]

Rebadge as the CRX i meant*

[dnur567]

CRZ v FT-86: the ultimate japanese sport compact showdown

[kunsel]

the back looks ugly, but the front looks great. the looks like one of Audi family.

[creationofsociety]

@kunsel i agree , the grill and the round shape of the front looks very simular to audi's design , and the back also reminds me of the citroen cars , especially the c4 !

[YTman28]

I'll wait for this car no matter what.

[killercrx91]

WOW I LOVE IT!!! If it feals and drive like my CRX i'm getting it.

[StealsBikes]

I'm wondering what the pricing will be on this. I hope it's somewhere around $18000, but then again it is a hybrid which automatically means "LOL LETS OVERPRICE THIS SHIT"

[M1GreenEagle]

the new crx??

[JRG921]

S2000 has been discontinued here in the U.S.,it was a 4 cylinder with 237 hp..

Honda should make a car like the Nissan 370Z.

Acura should make a car like the G37 coupe.

[lawaiia808]

120hp out of a 1.5l not bad. with the electric motors also and manual transmission this looks to be a promising car.

[JBlade007]

thiss looks 100X better than what NIssan is offering

I WOULD BUY THIS OVER THE NISSAN'S ANYDAY

[HarleyStcool]

i got a honda crx, and i don't know

[JRG921]

Honda/Acura needs a RWD performance/sports car making at least 310 hp.

If I want to save money on gas I'll buy a Civic, Insight, or Fit.

No more Hybrids!

[JBlade007]

its called a s2k

[alexkvaskov]

you do realize that it has been discontinued

[JBlade007]

yes i realize the 3 of them have been discontinued but over all for the sam price the supra is better

[motorolakrave]

it looks like they stole audi's look..

[isthissnfree]

that .2 liter bump is worth a whole like 10 horsepower

[XenoRacing]

one of very few new cars / concepts that looks futuristic and is tasteful. Although the land glider from nissan looks cool with its functional body the rest of the stuff is gay and damn all these futuristic looking electric pieces of crap. D:<

[KingMe52]

Why can't they just call it a CRX? That's essentially what it is, right?

[OddManOut23]

fuck you honda! you killed the NSX and the S2000! you're gonna end up making good but boring cars just like Toyota. wtf is wrong with you?!?! at least have something hot in your line up! not just "hey this is a good car" or " hey this is fuel efficient" UGH!!!! *is furious*

[jstnhnh]

They were most likely losing money on those two. Nice cars, though.

[OddManOut23]

i understand that, but that's not the point. i mean it's like they are just shying away from performance all together and that upsets me. i'd understand if they wanted to put the Acura NSX on hold, but they killed it pretty much. i can even understand them hanging up the S2000. but fill the void with something comparable, you know what i mean?

[jstnhnh]

I see what you mean. At least the S2000 will be an instant classic, as the NSX certainly is.

[OddManOut23]

truth

[alexkvaskov]

looks good when you look at it from the front

but the tail lights are ugly

120 hp is lame though, this needs 250-300 to compete with the porsche boxster

[yiygohlkjbhv]

@alexkvaskov: "this needs 250-300 to compete with the porsche boxster"

It's a hybrid you moron.

It's SUPPOSED to be a hybrid you moron.

The kind of "HYBRID" you wouldn't feel embarassed to be seen driving you "MORON"!

[alexkvaskov]

shut the fuck up, retard

honda doesn't need any hybrids, all the ones they had/used to have sucked ass, the new insight proves that honda sucks as hybrids. personally i would be embarrassed to drive around an ugly pos like this that has no balls.

[yiygohlkjbhv]

@alexkvaskov: "honda doesn't need any hybrids....."

You think Honda should make cars that cater specifically for "Jocks" like yourself?

It's a just Honda.

Go buy a fucking Hummer you big strong mand you! LOL LOL LOL!

[yiygohlkjbhv]

Jeez, my typing sucks tonight!

[sirberner12]

it's a Hybrid not a Porsche killer

[alexkvaskov]

@ sirberner12

i know that. i wish it could be, so honda could have some performance cars and finally get some balls. they now have no cars that are fast/sporty with balls. the nsx is dead, the s2000 will be dead soon. honda seriously needs to quit hybrid shit and stop making such ugly gay "luxury" cars

let's face it, honda can make great cars (they used) but now they suck

[yiygohlkjbhv]

@alexkvaskov: If Honda made a new NSX, could you afford one? No?

Then why ask for one?

[alexkvaskov]

fyi, my family could afford the nsx when it came out and can easily right now. plus i motherfucking hate hummer, it's shit. i just want to say honda sucks at hybrids, they really can't make good ones

[JBlade007]

they are only worth 20-30gz i can afford that 2 lol

But id rather still get a supra over a s2k or nsx unless its type-r or spoon

If u dont like HONDA then Buy a ACURA(Sarcasm)

[alexkvaskov]

the thing is, i like honda and acura. they CAN and did make good performance vehicles. except nowadays their styling has gone to shit and they completely cut off their balls

[lcfanyc]

Make that rear a little more like a CRX and a little less like an Insight, please!

[StalePhish]

No wonder I did a doubletake when you said "Honda NSX"... it's called the Acura NSX in America. And just over 100 horsepower? That's a little slow for my taste

[bitnissan]

best looking honda since the nsx doesn't mean it looks better you douchebags.

[wildbloodydragon]

Are you people serious? It looks like a limp dick. How can you even compare this to the NSX?

[xaniared]

AMAZINGLY great looking. I hope they dont change it alot before it comes to massive production

[LuNYMiK3Y]

why why is this a hybrid u know the worlds not full of douchebags who live in cali can we please get a full gas fueled version and is this just a 2seat or a 4seat

[p3ui]

ur a douchebag

[coolerdude44]

it's a 2 seater and rightly so, what's the point of a 4 seater car when nobody can sit in them anyway?

[toyotas2006]

If they fix the front bumper/fascia............

The fascia is too low, and nothing prtects the grille when parking, or crashing

Needs a proper bumper, with a two-piece fascia, that aligns with the headlights

[nitrousboy0311]

They need rwd

[GhostCell07]

Put a proper engine in it and make it RWD. Dam hybrids. Car companies should choose to either make the car a full electric or gas/petrol engine but none of this hybrid business. Its not bad looking though.

[isthissnfree]

I like it

needs a K20 engine swap though

[vtecboi18]

thats what i was gonna say lol

[badgerbuddy]

have people totally lost their taste in cars?

[nriqueog]

I thought Zed was dead?.... oh wait that was Ted, Ted is dead, baby. ;)

[arabrockerman]

I think just the 1.5L is enough why go hybrid its unnecessary maybe offer a hybrid model but the fact of the matter most car people don't want hybrid other wise you would see more civic hybrids running around they have more carbon emmissions for the enviormentals and then for resale value the very expensive batteries go bad in 7-10 years or even less if the car isn't driven the right amount. making the car almost worthless used.

And then there's the handling...

why are hybrids good again???

[Jfroese2007]

Wtf is with the Hybrids. I will never ever buy a hybrid. EVER.

[D0M1N8R1x]

you sure about that? I said I would never ever own a 4 cyl jap car.. ever! and I now drive a 4 cyl car =(

If I go green though hope it wont be hybrid.. instead just full electric. But only thing keeping me from hybrid at this point is money. If you got to pay a extra $5-10K for hybrid model thats a whole lot of refills.

[Jfroese2007]

I suppose if hybrids were $5 - $10,000 cheaper I may consider it, but I seriously doubt I will ever drive a hybrid.

[krazydrummer285]

its a great concept.... just don't think the world is ready for a hybrid take over......... 1 day maybe

[spencer5231]

It looks like a dust buster or a vacuum attachment. DO NOT WANT.

[Hiroyuki456]

Hybridz fail.

[CJAEY]

I don't see how hybrids fail.

[wiisucksIol]

Nice one Honda!

A front ripped the fuck off the Quattroporte.

The same ugly ass rear you find on Insight... YUCK!

Just to make an already terrible car WORSE, lets fit an interior that has more plastic than any celebrity, and the same torqueless and GODAWFUL engine you find on a civic.

Honestly, what are the japs thinking when they make cars??

[wiisucksIol]

I can't believe how you can copy a beautiful car like the Quattroporte, and yet have the end result look just like any other fucking jap ricer.

Japs shouldn't be allowed to design cars, THEY SUCK AT IT.

[dreamexecution]

and american cars in general look great....NOT

[Hiroyuki456]

agreed.

[casoig]

maybe not the same the Americans are thinking?

[305pride]

this looks like a nice car, but whats the point of it?

[mrjost55]

to make hybrids more appealing to a broader audience.

[305pride]

i guess, but for that to work it will have to actually be a lil sporty. and maybe moddable.

[stigger91]

That actually does look pretty cool. Now if only they could finalize the NSX!
