The folks who point out that the CR-Z is a sporty car and doesn't need to be as efficient as an Insight-II are right, though it doesn't stop me from being disappointed that Honda built a car that, with a few tweaks, would have been very interesting to an FE enthusiast.
SVOBoy's CRX is a 2nd gen. The picture is a 1st gen CRX. I was going to go to tirerack.com to pull a side view of a 2nd gen CRX for further info, but I got lazee.
