hey, at least one thing good came out of this.

mick · 11-17-2010, 04:52 PM

to me, a 370z nismo is more desirable than a CR-Z

however, two CR-Zs and about $5k probably would be more desirable than a 370z nismo for most people

sonic370 · 11-17-2010, 06:56 PM

let me see honda or 370 hard choice!!!

in my area honda's,mustang and camaro's are like ants there everywhere...

imho the 370 hell even the 350 is considered rare...

i'll give it to a camaro it will turn heads..nobody looks at mustangs there everywhere.. unless it's a shelby cobra saw and heard one today badxxx

It really came down to me not wanting to sink the majority of money into a car. Not to mention a car that sat in the garage most of the time. I wanted something that was fun, stylish and less costly. I'm loving the CR-Z to be honest. The speed really is not a factor when I purchased. Whole user experiece is. That being said I have a great time in the CRZ and think its a better suit for my application. Which is the only person who matters in the this case. So Yeah I made the right choice. That and I do plan on have 2 DD's instead of 1 sunday and one DD. Family is on the way.

wow.
in 2012 honda will produce a 200-hp CR-Z that will go from 0-62 mph in 6 secs. that's only a second longer than a 370z

nicknick · 12-07-2010, 12:27 AM

Umm, I just googled a CR-Z and I can see no reason good reason to swap a 370Z for one.

I like it looks good.

m4a1mustang · 12-07-2010, 09:17 AM

It would look less ricey without the wing that we all know it doesn't need.

The thing is, when you ride sportbikes all the time, even the Z isn't particularly fast.

Who knows.

so true. When I got my bike license earlier this year and rode my first bike (06 CBR 600RR), the Z lost its speed appeal.

... but the world would have already ended

honestly, I love hondas. I had an RSX type S for a few years and went from 40k miles to 110,000 miles without anything but oil changes, and it NEVER gave me an issue. My brand new Z has been in the shop about 6 times for stupid crap... wheel bearing, all four rotors and pads, rear hatch, axle bolts, a fingerprint in my clear coat, alignment.... and now we have an oil consumption TSB....

I baby my Z.. .I drove the piss out of my RSX... so this kind of makes sense to me.

edit - Honda transmissions are also super smooth... I cringe everytime I go into 2nd gear, ever since I had my 350z...
