Haters are no doubt grabbing the popcorn as well.

The good news... Honda is still on pace for the yearly 15k sales figure!

Sales are up and that's a good thing.

The good thing is I still have only seen mine and one other CR-Z in the Mempshis TN area. Except for the dealers lot near me, they have had 4 sitting for about 3 weeks now.

I have yet to see one driving around my town. My dealer finally got one black CR-Z in after going two months with out.

Glad to see that even with all the bashing ppl are still buying the car. That alone says something.

I think Honda Marketing had a big miss.. with sending so manu CVT versions to the US! Seems like the 6-speed is much more popular... would probably sell better.

I test drove them both. No way would I get this car with a CVT. It's not God awful or anything like that, just not meant for me.

Yea.. my GF test drove one (I rode shotgun)... and I was ragging on her to get it in gear. Just seemed like it had poor accelleration compared to the 6.

I have yet to see another one in Colorado Springs

i see 3 around here and there but its the same 3 guys.

 

[CRaZee]

I haven't seen one in Denver Metro area yet.. although I know that Sparrow and Tai are here!

Honda needs to sell over 1000 monthly on average to hit sales goals at this point. However things can change come spring. Buying a sporty 2-door doesn't seem like a smart prospect when we are getting snow storms every weekend. And even if sales fall short it means we own all the more rare of a car :thumbsup:

If sales fall short that also means some killer deals come model year clearance. But that Veloster is going to throw a major wrench into CR-Z sales, especially when the turbo version comes out - unless Honda fires back with a back seat and 160hp+ The CR-Z is better looking, but the Veloster is cheaper and has some neat features.

Maybe, but we'll have to wait and see.

i disagree with the Veloster comment... that car is larger and aimed more at the Civic than the CR-Z...
