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

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

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

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.

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...
