Shouldn't it slope down at 15* ?
It looks okay to me. Besides, higher angles are achievable if the transition is gradual.

Excuse me while I get offended at that. I believe the CR-Z would be a big economy improvement for you.

It's true, they haven't produced a hyper-MPG hybrid since 2006, but give them some credit. They produce vehicles in the countries where they are sold. They're advancing manufacturing, automotive, and robotics technology. Their emissions and economy is mostly class-leading. And when the CEO says, "But we are Honda! We must have a manual!", he earns points from me.

No, I want Honda to thrive. Even if their product portfolio for 2010-2013 has nothing that wows me.
