The CRZ is a fail for other reasons IMO. It does nothing well.

It would sell very well if it did JUST ONE of these these things: got 55+ mpg, handled like an NSX, did 0-60 in under 6 seconds, or cost under $15K loaded.

If this hybrid gets 30mpg, I can only imagine this Z will be light; hence handle as well, if not better, as the current car.

Having said, I still really love my '09 Z!

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.

Feel free to look into it.

There are five speed manual transmission hybrid motors. Here's a hint, its a Honda.
