Default 2011 Honda CR-Z TV commercial

Not an LSX product, but here's a cool video our company made for a South Texas Honda dealer. Enjoy.

For as little as the car is and being a hybrid I think 39 mpg could be better.

^^^ Ding, Ding. The reviews are funny if you can find a few. Nearly all say it is equally disappointing as a "sports car" and "hybrid". It is too soft for a true sports car feel and it's mileage is low in comparison to the insight hybrid.

I get that it is a middle ground type vehicle, so maybe they are leaving room for later improvement on either end? Maybe a CR-Z SI or Type-R in the future?

Well hybrids have never really been about highway mpg, it's all about the city mpg. And I'd say 31-35mpg in the city is pretty good.

Exactly how it should be . But the rumored 1.6l turbo should be pretty damn peppy as well.
