Really?
Wow.
I have been lead to believe I'm the only one here who wants a hot CR-Z
It seems everytime I mention such a thing I get bombarded with the CR-Z is just perfect as it is, it has plenty of power.......

But they lowered the redline
I know some people love the extra torque
But I'm just one of those that prefer the higher revs

i dont really like the look of the new Si's though.. but i wonder how that 2.4 will respond to boost

is it still a high-revving, high-compression motor?

no other available videos of it?

AWESOME
I have a cohort in crime, very cool.
The CR-Z body is just so hot, it needs the package to back that good stuff up

I just figure, if I'm buying a 2012-2013 Honda CR-Z, it would be wrong to bring it home and be afraid the 22-23 year old CRX-Si is going to eat it up and spit out its bones

ahhh, disregard my previous post then. i prefer the higher-revs too just like my old rsx-s. i'd fix the torque problem with a simple supercharger

I'm kinda there with ya
In all fairness I'm waiting to see one in person
But my initial reaction is reserved
I would love to see the larger version that was originally made, before they were told to go back to the drawing boards and keep it the same size, and hurry
I'm not saying bigger is better, but I believe they had more design time in on that version that never saw the light of day, and I would love to see how that one turned out
