I've been thinking about getting the CR-Z for myself. I don't really care for the sportiness of it, since I don't ever need to floor it, but the added benefit of the handling is awesome for me. What I really want from one is the efficiency of it. If I get the 6-speed no one in my family will want to drive it (thank goodness, they suck at FE). I also think they look sweet. There is so much that you could do to lower the Cd easily (remove shark fin on top, rear wheel skirts, side skirts, should drop it down significantly).
Every time I've seen someone driving it, it was either a college girl or mid-20's dude. I think that it has potential to be a chick magnet, since it is a 2-seater and fuel efficient (attracts every kind of girl).
There aren't too many 6-MTs around here, but there is one for sale that I have been looking at.
