my calculation was trying to explain that your logic is flawed because (1) working with rumoured price is meaningless (by the CRZ comparision) and (2) estimating a companies' potential price based on the situation of another company is also meaningless (with the FJ calculation).

therefore my conclusion is still:

Yup, and my conclusion is still: the 86 will not be sold here for $30k as rumored

$30k isn't a rumour, it's wishful thinking (aka dreaming).

but i doubt they will start at least $45k+ as you claimed. my gut feeling is a base model around $40k on road and a high spec around $45k on road, give and take. add $2k for auto.

so... anyone bought one yet? :p

i know of a few that have been sold

i have been enjoyin driving it the last 2 weeks, sports mode using the paddle shifters is fun to use and changes the feel of the car alot.
They only bad feed back and i kinda agree with is the price of the car :(

Went and had a look the other day, not a bad looking car but, $45k for a CRZ luxury or $45k for a Renault Megane RS 250 cup... unless you are trying to save the planet by buying hybrid (debatable), seems a bit of a no brainer to me...?

i had a look at one at Essendon Honda, the boys/girls there are fantastic but to be honest, im a pretty brutal and harsh person when it comes to comments..
The guy asked you wanna buy one,
i said your kidding right? The only car i would MAYBE consider buying in Honda current range is an FN2R but thats still a maybe....
To be honest and frank, as others have said, theres nothing REALLY appealing in Honda's current range, the only car i would say is the FD2R but that will never happen as we all well know.

Will see what they bring out in the next few years i guess.

Hello, Sydney keen to buy here, want a black one!

Sport or Lux what do you all think; I need a gps so I have to go lux, unless I suppose I caould plug my Galazy Nexus phone in as it has a nice gps?...

Anyone know if there is decent room in the engine bay for a turbo?

u going to spend 10+k doing so? how mant turbo CRZ's have u seen?

10K.....will a 3,000 dollar turbo and Labour come to that?

May as well go the Supercharger route it sound like Honda are going for?

Do you think will Honda do this for me so the warrenty is still valid?

Perhaps I will contact honda and as them for a Supercharger and tell them they can decal my car with HONDA CR-V and I will drive it around the city alot...that get me a discount do you think?

On your other point; I haven't seen any CR-Zs at all, on the web though I have seen a CR-Z with nearly 400hp and wow it sounded 'sweet'(don't use kw's myself yet)! Still got good milage (kilometerige?!) too!

Where do you work, do you want to sell me a Black Lux auto with a Tbo or SprCrg?

i think you're crazy.

hardly any mechanics, let alone a dealership will do such a thing for you

Crazy why; I think the car is buy far the nicest looking car in the Honda range and it would be nice to have a little more poke?

Why wouldn't a Honda delarship, using offical Honda parts and offical Honda tools ;), fit a Honda with a Honda turbo for example?
