No kidding. I don't think they actually expected it to perform but sales wise, yeah. They should have released it with at least a 160 hp gas motor.

That said, I see some advantage to having a hybrid ASSIST gas motor. Tack on an extra 50 hp on demand to a 330 hp plus motor and I'd sign up. Depends on how much weight is added. A hybrid-on-demand system wouldn't require as many batteries (weight) as a hybrid like the CR-Z would.

Diesel, no thanks.


Personally, I think this Z car mock up looks fantastic.

I know it's the wave of the future, but gads, I'm gonna miss these if they go...


Hybrids do have manual transmissions...TRUE manual transmissions and no just flappy paddles. So thats not an issue fellas.
