Said Bye to the Z tonight!
 

So I let the Z go. Wanted to still have fun but be able to go the extra mile. Wanted an automatic too.

what did you get?

A Nismo 370Z for a CR-Z?

:wtf2:

Just a teeny bit of performance difference.. :D

Yeah, marginal.

Yeah most people here proably wont see why I went to a CR-Z.

why did you? you already have the fit

I like the CR-Z. I'm surprised you didn't get the loaded out sport package with the spoiler and addons. Get the Nav at least?

Omg! Nismo is gone:confused:

Wow that's quite a change! Congrats on the new CRZ, they are neat. I traded my Z last week too.

Yeah, Nav is not worth 1400. They finally put bluetooth in without needing NAV which is nice. Since I use my droid for NAV. It has pretty much most options but the spoiler. May decide to get that and install off of collegehillshonda.com. Still debating on how it looks tho

That makes sense. Still, I love the CR-Z. :) Congrats.

To each his own. No way in heck i'd make that trade. :-/

"thump thump thump....another one bites dust". All kidding aside, good luck with that hybrid :hello:

Damn so many odd trade ins... Lol

When I trade it's gonna be for a GT-R. ;)

I like the looks of the CR-Z. I hope it treats you right.

How many trade in does that make now?
Lol, that's what I was thinking! Honda, excellent car!

SO...um...what's the trend with dumping 300+whp vehicles for 150BHP vehicles? I have started something :)

CRZ = 122hp:shakes head: Honestly if Honda had made it with 180-200hp they might have something worth looking at but at 122hp it's just too slow to be considered a "sports hybrid" like they advertise. Still, I think the styling is great, just wish it had more power.

OP's car has less power than my G20 now? CRIPPLEFIGHT! :stirthepot:

Yah since you already have a Fit??? :D

yea when are you getting a Z?:stirthepot:

At least it is less ugly than a prius.

But just as slow. :rofl2:

I've never seen so many odd trades in my life as in this forum. I guess I'm used to the G35/G37 forums where people stay with similar cars... upgrade to GTRs or goto something like a BMW 3 Series coupe. But a Honda CR-Z???? That just makes NO sense. I could see if you preferred a competitors car or needed a truck or SUV for size... but this is such an odd change.

Either way, good luck with it!

i think you can get it in stick, which is kind of cool.

Sorry to see your Nismo go mdbrich. Have fun with your new car.

Good luck with the CRZ. It's a sharp looking car.

To everyone else: Not everyone is primarily concerned about power and speed. I bet you 75% of Z owners (the ones not registered on this forum) didn't even consider the 370 for its power or handling.

Since when? I rarely keep a car more than two years. Since 2004 I've had a 2004 F150, 2006 IS350, 2007 Honda Accord coupe, 370 and now the Jag. I also had a 1961 Beetle and still have my 2000 Dodge Ram 4x4. :ugh2:

It certainly has the unique aspect to it. I completely get the trade. When I get it into my head that I have to have a certain car, it doesn't matter how it compares to my current car.

I don't like the CRZ personally, but I could see why one would make the trade from a balls-out, impractical sports car to a practical, roomier, putt-putter.

I hope you enjoy the Honda, though! And I hope you'll stick around here to joke with us once in a while. :)

Why did you choose the CR-Z? I'm having a CR-Z debate with a friend of mine. People would jump to own the CR-Z if there were an Si or Type-R model :rolleyes:

Personally I love the car!

They have a Mugen accessory kit which takes the looks over the top. No performance increase, though. :icon17:

thats why you have no money. :icon17:

So why did you trade???

I really like the CRZ. Congratulations. I'm sure the aftermarket world will jump on it very quickly.

he saw this and thought his nismo was too slow...

wow the CRZ did not fair well with Motor Trends Car of the Year Comp.

I know its heresy, but I've been thinking about trading out the Z for another Jeep. Kinda tired of the 6MT, visibility, scraping the nose everywhere, worrying about the white interior...

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

Who knows.

Cars have always been my vice. I'm cheap otherwise though. :tup:

hahaha :tup:
