One accessory I'd like to see are red emblems. The red H's shouldn't be hard to find, but the CR-Z badge might be.

Well the looks of the interior are a matter of personal preference, the CR-Z's is a lot funkier but the VW's will probably feel better put together. Personally I don't really care, what matters most to me is how it drives and I really hope the CR-Z will outdo the competition on that. Test drive will tell...

Pricing wise I have to disagree, A Scirocco "TEAM" with an equivalent power 1.4 TSI engine, specced to the level of the intermediate CR-Z is about 25k EUR -- according to the configurator @ volkswagen.de. At the moment it's easy to get at least a 15% rebate on a Scirocco here, making it cheaper than even the entry level CR-Z "S" at (German) list price.

And for the people who'd end up driving their CR-Z in "Sport" mode most of the time anyway, there's so much competition from all the hot hatches that are quicker as well as cheaper (while offering better practicability, eg 4 usable seats). Just to pick one of the many examples: the Alfa Mito QV with the 170 PS Multi-Air engine costs about 23k fully loaded here, also has Euro 5 emissions and is not polluting much worse at 139g of Co2 -- but it is way, way quicker (eg 7.5 0-62).

In case you haden't noticed I'm really disappointed with the price point Honda set for the CR-Z in Europe. Not disappointed with the car per se, but it seems clear to me they are treating the little bugger as a limited issue model to be sold to nostalgics of the CRX and/or people really liking that novelty "sporty hybrid" idea.

Exec summary: at that price no interest from me. The numbers (be it fuel consumption or performance) just don't justify the asking price.

Don't they produce a full catalogue?

The CR-Z catalogue on display at my Honda dealer here has 44 pages, including 20 with detailed technical explanation. The GT model is the same as the Alpha model here, but with the options (sunroof, leather seats) as standard. But I don't see any navigation system on the UK-spec car. Is this offered, too?
