The CR-Z is bitter sweet for me. It's kind of a weird car, and thats probably why it's not selling like crazy. Honda was brave to introduce this type of car, and I respect that. It was suppose to be a hybrid sports car, that combines fuel efficiency with a great handling and fun-to-drive car. The problem is that it's not good and not bad in either of those areas. The 39 MPG highway rating is the same as 2013 Civic's, so you can't say it's the most economical car. At the same time it's not all that fast. So who wants to buy the car? Not the sports car people, because it's not a great sports car. Not the fuel economy people, because its not a great MPG car. The market this car has is very limited. Mostly people that want something that gets good gas mileage like a Civic, but is a little more fun to drive and more exotic and sporty looking. As sales numbers have proven, thats a small market.
All that being said, I totally want one! Your's looks very good. I like the black hood/door handle/gas cap look with the black wheels. And I'm not usually a fan of blue, but I love the color. It is a very unique car, and I think that is what makes the CR-Z so awesome. Now if only they would come down in price on the used market...
