Default Ashamed of the CRZ?

Not that I mind, really, but I never see the CRZ on commercials, billboards, etc. I actually like not being, "one of the crowd". But is Honda trying to hide our car's greatness? Just a thought.

No, Honda is just not marketing them because the production rate is slow on these vehicles. There are commercials but not as popular as an accord or a civic. Soon our car shall flourish so at the time just bask in the looks you receive ^.^

Hopefully it stays the way it is.. a niche car with relatively low production rates in which you only see a few on the road.. I'd hate to see 5 or 6 every day like I do the Prius and I live in relatively low density population area..

You can maybe compare it to a lot of the other 2 seaters in which you do not see major advertising campaigns..

I have to put up with one in the same parking lot where I work! Then I got member Pduf right up the street from the office.

Other than that, I don't see too many.

As for hiding the Z, I think there are two reasons. The first is lack of production. The second is the lack of a point. On a good day, Honda doesn't expect to sell many copies of the CR-Z. The more they spend on advertising, the less they make on each unit.

I like not seeing my car all over the place, it was one of the big reasons I ditched my last car... I hated seeing 5-10 a day every single day. If I see 1 CR-Z a month that isn't mine it's a shocker. Uniqueness rules.
