QUOTE(igor_is300 @ Dec 8 2010, 11:54 AM) Compare the pricing between civic hybrid and cr-z it's more or less same in Japan. cr-z price in US 26 000 U.S. dollars = 81 704.9947 Malaysian ringgitsThus, HM shouldn't sell cr-z at higher price. GOD saves us all. civic hybrid in malaysia = rm105k so if u say it is going to be +- same with civic hybrid, HM margin of profit is higher |

For the moment, it should be sure.. Unless last minute changes within the internal meeting... Still waiting latest news...
For sure the CR-Z will be more expensive than Insight, but won't be more expensive than Civic Hybrid I presume. |

How cr-z gets all the hype from tuners in the first place? This car is produced with environmental mind by honda.

the thing is bout the crz is, it is actually a spiritual successor 2 the crx.. remember that?? it was originally designed by honda 2 be an economical sports hatchback.. so 2 carry on the tradition, honda made the crz into a hybrid, so in order 2 stay true of its heritage, it has 2 be a sporty lookin fun 2 drive yet economical hatchback..

Consumer Reports thinks that CR-Z is crap.
QUOTE 2011 Honda CR-Z hybrid scores too low for Consumer Reports to Recommend We know what you're thinking: Hondas typically do well in Consumer Reports testing. And since Consumer Reports emphasizes good fuel economy, a hybrid should score highly in our tests, right? Not so much. The two-seat CR-Z is derived from the Insight, a five-passenger hybrid hatchback that also scored too low to be recommended. To be sure, there are improvements in the CR-Z: the interior isn't so glaringly cheap, and handling is much more nimble than the Insight. The CR-Z's manual transmission is crisp and easy to shift and 35 mpg is nothing to sneeze at. But compared to a long list of drawbacks, that good news isn't enough to recommend the car. Handling is short on steering feel, a recent (and unwelcome) Honda trait. Even for a small sports coupe, the ride is stiff and noise levels are high. The stability control intervenes too late when it's needed, so the CR-Z's tail can swing out mid-corner. Lousy rear and over-the-shoulder visibility made changing lanes "like Russian Roulette," according to one tester's logbook comment. A diminutive 400-lb. payload capacity somewhat negates the large cargo hold and speaks to a real limitation in a country where 200-lb. adults are commonplace. Even the details rankle: The car shuts off when stopped to save fuel -- but unlike most other hybrids, the air conditioner shuts off too, making it a drag on a hot day. The exterior door handles are awkward to grab, and you basically lunge in and out of the low-slung car. So just because it's a Honda doesn't mean it's a good car. Even if the CR-Z turns out to be reliable, it scores too low for us to recommend it. SoS |
