A modern crx could be cool, but there is no interest in that from anyone. No one will make it and no one would buy it :lol:

If the CR-Z had better engine options, I think it would have been a hit. 1.5L w/ IMA. Womp womp

We've all been saying that for years :lol:

No one would buy it though. Troy is right.

Only Toyotas I'd buy are:
V8 camry sleeper drag car thingy.
Mk4 supra
2000gt
Celica-supra
Mr2
Pruis ls1 swap
TRD supercharged Yaris to troll civics.
4runner
Land cruiser

I would take Last 2 plus tacoma w/ manual.

I've driven a first gen Insight.

Hybrid with a stick. Not bad.

Just like the crz.

Yeah, except the CR-Z is an overweight pig of a car for what it is, and it has numb steering.

The 1G Insight feels very light on it's feet, with great steering feel, and the IMA provides some great thrust down low.

Crz with a real motor and European back seat would be a seller.

K20 in a CR-Z would be a hoot.

Hybrid Motorsports here in Br specializes in K20 swaps, I've seen a few CR-Z K20 swaps.

 

[troyguitar]

Dunno, isn't the CRZ somehow just as heavy as a Civic Si that already has a K20?

I can verify. The first gen Insight was actually not bad. Manual made it interesting. Way better place to be than behind the wheel of ANY Prius. My Dad got rear ended in his and it was totaled. Bummer.

Agreed. Current CRZ is meh. It had much potential but was lost in the 1.5 IMA shuffle.

I hear, next gen will be fun.

I'm surprised they're going to keep making it, doesn't seem to sell well really. I see maybe one per week or less. I've always really enjoyed the styling.

Fit Si bro, Fit Si. It would be like a Fiesta ST with better packaging.

 

[D Griff]

Fit with a K20 and 8k redline. I would buy that whenever it comes time for me to need a DD.
