New CR-Z

[denot]

LOL I think I've asked this last year but I ask again now... So... have anyone here bought a CRZ yet?

[Brescia]

I have had my CRZ for about 4 months. Despite it's mixed reviews and mixed intentions - I Love my CRZ.
People stop and ask me about the CRZ everywhere i go, it is a unique shape, just like the CRX was when it was released.
Leave it in SPORT mode and it is fun to drive, very responsive. It's not a drag car, i think people seem to set the bar too high to be honest.
I hope nobody buys a CRZ, i'm enjoying the rarity factor too much..

My CRZ and my rebuilt CRX (plates are edited)

Very cute pic. Love them both.

What do you prefer to drive?

[Brescia]

I like them both in their own ways though My CRZ is my daily. The CRX has Nostalgia value (My second CRX), and doesn't get driven since the restoration.

Yeah, it is an attention grabber... just like my wife's Hyundai Veloster.

Coming from a big Honda fan, it's a real shame the Veloster borrowed styling from the CRZ, it's mainly the roof line. The Hyundai doesn't look quite as sharp, but from a distance i can see the confusion.
I always prefer hearing "They have a little bit of the old CRX in them." rather than "They look a bit like the new Hyundai."

[denot]

What about this then? Does it borrowed CRZ style as well?



EDIT: Oh and the Veloster concept (Seoul Motor show - March 2007) was revealed ahead of CRZ concept (Tokyo Motor show - October 2007)

[Brescia]

No that just looks like a new model of the Original Renault. (it is)
The Hyundai Veloster has no previous models to base their styling on.

[denot]

Seriously? You cant see the similarities?

[Brescia]

I think alot of cars have similarities to eachother these days, Hatches most in particular. It wouldn't be easy designing a hatchback from scratch being 100% original all the way through.
Whatever the story may be, if Hyundai were first.
I see my CRX in my CRZ, while others unfamiliar with the Generation 1 and Generation 2 CRX see the Hyundai Veloster. Which is understandable.

Just an aerodynamics style.
