The Honda CR-Z is supposed to be an evolved version of its predecessor the Honda CRX. In the mid 80's up until 91, the Honda CRX was known for its suspension, aerodynamics, and lite weight. Not to mention the Si version with a multiport fuel injection set up on a 1.6 liter engine. Over time the Crx became one of the more sought after Hondas. Now with the CR-Z taking the CRX's place a good 20 years after Honda stopped producing them, there are some aspects of the CRX left untouched by the CR-Z.
The most important aspect that the CR-Z does not cover is the Si model. Yes, Mugen has come up with many different styles for the CR-Z but, the biggest change that us CRX fans want, have not yet been seen. The standard version and the Mugen version both are equipped with a Honda Fit engine. I would like to see an Si model sporting a K20 from the new Si Civics. The CR-Z does in fact have a great suspension set up, cool gauges and different driving modes at a push of a button on the dash. Nice 10" Sub-woofer in the back, looks just like a CRX on the inside with a back seat(sort of). All the CR-Z needs now is a little more power.
Don't get me wrong I would love to get my hands on the CR-Z. At the same time just one more up grade would make the CR-Z another addition to Hondas Hall of Fame.
And that's your new opinion because, that's what Chris thinks!
Hope you were entertained.
Thanks for stopping by!
