does it come only in white? i thought red or black would look nicer too.

heard that, maybe later got other color, and also CVT version coming on board but maybe next year at 2012

Maybe not powerful out-of-the-box......But the Americans have already Supercharged, Turbocharged & K20'ed it.....so take your pick...

 

[wanyoi]

[langsuyrx]

White Hi-Brid with a little white lies...

 

[noname_yma]

What a ridiculous statement that who cares if you can get a civic for that price, I totally understand the function of a coupe, but saying that there's two more redundant doors?

family man wont buy (much more choices with spacious car)
speed junkie wont buy (all show, no go)
chicks wont buy (most of the chicks prefer auto)
fresh graduate wont buy (becoz this is their 1st car)
old man wont buy this (not worth the price)

That's a proper analogy, I guess the buyers would have to be a CRX enthusiast or a new CR-Z fan and what it stands for being the the world's first sports hybrid. But if you compare it's mpg to the insight or prius it's actually quite far apart, and if you compare horsepower to some other cars well. Nonetheless, it's definitely good news as its the beginning of a new era, where many other car makers will follow suit and therefore better improvement of the sports hybrid cars. Bigger lighter batteries, more power output than just 13 bhp perhaps 50 in the future, hence lesser fuel consumption? Who knows.
