CR-Z specs are disappointing
Honda released the specs for the CR-Z and they are well, pretty weak.
122hp and 33mpg for the 6-speed version. How is it that our Fits can rival that combined mileage with two more doors and the lack of batteries?
Maybe they could make a limited run K-powered version. We can dream can't we?

If it uses the L15, I wonder if the transmission could be swapped into a Fit? I don't know if the engine is an L like ours , or a R like the Civic. The Civic Hybrid does use a L though.
All I know, is that someone will K-swap it in no time.

yah, i kinda do want a 6th gear in my FitS too... the first few times i went on the expressway i almost accidentally shifted into R because my other cars have 6MT. hahaha.

K20 and it'd be a cool car like i've always said, this hybrid thing in a two seater doesn't fly with me. Plus 33 mpg's? My dad gets that in his 06 RSX TypeS.
If Honda gives us a Si, with a K20 id be interested.

I just don't get making a hybrid with mediocre fuel mileage, the added weight and complexity of IMA and nothing to show for it besides really low rpm torque.
I don't even know if the thing is really tunable with the IMA system.

yea, same as everyone else...why'd honda release it with specs like this/these? I guess it goes to fit another group of drivers/consumers but still? fit gets better mpg and has more space...granted less power but whatevs on that note. cool car, needs a k n it'll be on dragstrips in no time...then again it'd be cheaper to kswap a crx n get better times :/

Speaking on just a design standpoint, the production CRZ looks absolutely horrible compared to the concept - just look at the profiles of the two and you'll see an immediate loss of what made the concept look great.
Honda's design team needs to lay off the sake

Here is a great review by a CRX owner.

The worst part about the CR-Z? It weighs 2800 lbs!
