Aloha from Okinawa,
Happened to stumble on this forum while doing a search for reviews of the CR-Z. I have seen the car as I'm in the market looking for a new car. Been looking at the Smart, mini cooper clubman, and the CR-Z. The CR-Z looks awesome, love the looks, ****pit is way cool and when I pushed the start button it's sound was well....quiet. Didn't drive the car as it was getting late, so will retun this weekend to take a test drive. The only bummer is that I would have to wait 3 months as that's the waiting time to get the car, and with the yen/dollar exchange rate so low, the price of the CR-Z is over the 30K price range about 2.9 million yen, although being a hybrid there is about a 100,000 yen tax return. Will update on driving impressions after the weekend.
