Thanks for the pictures. They've convinced me not to buy a CR-Z :-(

As for the CR-Z/Insight II closing valves... Well, it seems like another symptom of the "dasBlinkenLights" disease. Some people want the EV-mode like the Prius, no matter that it's really bad for overall efficiency. So they get it, use it, and their mpg drops: big surprise!
