I bought my CRZ the first week it went on sale in the U.S. and am still thrilled by it a year and half later. I only spend $30 a week on gas after averaging 45 mph and 42.5 mpg. after 20,000 miles. I probably drive it in normal mode 80% of the time and 10% in ecomony and 10% in sport. With the gas mileage I get there isn't a need to drive it in economy mode all though that day of $5 gal may be coming. All I can say is fantastic job Honda !

This car was great idea on paper, just flat on its face when it was released.

I like the front bumper of the concept model

Chevy will never be better than the Japanese car. But there is a way that they could be much more better.. They need to get rid of the unions that have the choke hold on GM. there is no way GM can more ahead until they take that chain off there neck. Then GM will be the leader again. But until then GM will always be 4th to 5th on the list

"GM is giving Honda a run for its money". Do you realize how sad that sounds? The company that pretty much lead the automotive industry for nearly 100 years trying to chase down Honda, a company that only started to make cars in the 60's.

I think thats embarrassing. The sales show that to be true.

And Toyota? Yeah, the Camry is the best selling car in the United States. Ranked number 1 in automobile production in the world.

Looks like GM is the one in the dumps. Literally.

Theres a bunch of websites that overlap each other and contradict each other as well. So i dont think we'll get a definite answer.

[musicmanvin1]

@medz91xc ??? Honda is not the 3rd largest, I believe they're 8th. VW, Ford, Nissan, Hyundai are all ahead of em.

[musicmanvin1]

@Jakeness21 Ya, it was a concept, but it cost too much for production. I did read that they'll release a Mugen SC CRZ in the UK making 170HP, not sure why it's down 30hp from the concept tho : / I think the fuel savings came from the fact that Mugen completely remapped the ECU and kept ECO and Sport modes.

Apparently people just LOVE to buy ugly, shit cars then? Look up the car sales. Toyota is giving GM a run for their money in sales. While Honda is the 3rd largest car manufacturer in the world.

Bad cars? Yeah, right. The millions of Toyota and Honda cars on the road today make it pretty clear they are anything but.
