i agree, i like the concept, but it is just so damn hideous...at this point i am leaning towards the 2k down 199/month prius option for a commuter car.

I had high hopes for the CR-Z when they first talked about it, but it gets horrible gas mileage! IMO, you're better off getting a Ford Fiesta, Chevy Cruze (yup, I said that. 1.4L turbo that gets 40mpg), Yaris, Mini, etc. How does a mid-size Ford Fusion hybrid get such better gas mileage than the CR-Z? Honda effed up!

Agreed on this. The Prius is...well, I liked the original a lot better than the one now, as well, it's a Prius, so you'll more than likely have people questioning your sexuality, awkwardly enough, it happened to me a couple times when I took one out for a demo while my car was in the shop (No offense intended to those who are not of straight sexual orientation).

As for the topic at hand, as much as I love the design of the CR-Z, I do have to give it to the Yaris when it comes to value for dollar, great on gas, zippy, and it's a surprisingly nice car to look at as well.

I've taken a liking to this particular one as of late.

Actually... we aren't implying the Yaris looks better, THEN the CR-Z. Cause, the CR-Z is hideous and is no where near the docile looks of the Yaris. So, it wouldn't be best looking docile cars:
1. Yaris
then.
2. CR-Z
Cause, the CR-Z would be like, 40th.

However, we are implying the Yaris looks better THAN the CR-Z.


Ah, I love grammar and how people misuse it, which changes their message and the point they are trying to get across.

Get the Yaris but please don't mod it. It just doesn't look right.

Yes we are hating, what's your point? A poorly executed idea, is a poorly executed idea. Are you shocked that you came onto a honda vehicle website, and are having people slam another Honda vehicle? It's un-attractive, scratch that... A Malibu is unattractive, a echo is un-attractive, the CR-Z is two bolts short of a frankenstein. It's overweight, under-powered, and doesn't get the MPG it should. Are we supposed to be enthralled?

Better to design a car that some love and others hate then to design something so inoffensive that no one cares... The cr-z at least has us all talking about it... that is more than can be said of most cars out there.

I suppose, I find it to be very attractive... But people hate just as much on my spoon hardtop, and others think it looks amazing. I guess when something looks that good there's gotta be ppl that completely hate on it.

going to be over priced and it only has 2 seats. I can give you that looks are in the eyes of the beholder, but that's the only thing going well for it. It is a niche market seller.
