There's also the issue of that car being huge! 200 hp will just make performance respectable, not fast.

based on the current pricing, what would these cars cost? I can't see them being price competitive, but who knows...

you are all so pessimistic, think of the potential of upgrading the current range to turbo type r performance. Im sure it wont be too hard to put a bigger turbo on it, there should be a complete seperate type r range that honda sells, similair to what vxr has done with vauxhall. Im happy that honda are realising that people want these cars, im sure if they are doing this with the whole range then someone will bring up the s2000/nsx reintroduction........

If I wanted 200 hp, I would have gotten the RSX-S back in 2002.

200 hp is respectable? wow...

by the way nice gigantic wing for a fwd car...

"respectable" != "impressive"
Without the weight of batteries, I think they should be able to bring down the overall weight from ~2650 to the 2500-2550 range. And, yeah, I think 200hp in a 2500lb car is respectable.

As for the wing... if I'm taking a sweeper at 100mph, I don't want the tail of my car getting light, regardless of whether if it's RWD or FWD. I'd be pretty surprised if that wing comes on the standard TypeR version, though. I'd expect just a regular spoiler.

Of course, it's front engine, FWD. With the batteries in the back, it's already pushing a 60:40 weight distribution. I assume it's only going to get worse if they remove the batteries. So, I'd be more worried about that than I would be the other specs.

Am I the only one here who actually thinks this thing is pretty cool. I love the CR-Z's looks and if it had 160-200HP I'd be very happy to have it as my DD. If they took off the wing and the stickers it would look awesome IMO.

Honda's planning an eco-revolution again... although this time they might not be at the head of the pack.

i wouldnt worry, honda arent going to make a rubbish handling car, seriously in all the development and planning that goes into cars and knowing hondas reputation are you seriously thinking that they are not going to think about weight distribution in a performance car. Im not a fan of wings, but then i cant honestly see honda leaving that wing on, just look at the origional pics of the crz before it was released and how much it changed. At least they are bringing back quicker engines and not going completely eco
