I'm crying too, and for the same basic reason you are, but, my crying could be stopped so much easier than yours.
A revised S2000 or a revised NSX is 5+ years away at the very best, if they even ever decide to go there again, but a revised CR-Z should be able to be done quickly, if they actually could muster up a proper vision for that ever so sexy body.
Come one Honda, make a 4-cyl that spins up to 8,000 and has 200hp, come on, I'm not asking for much.
This body just begs for an engine with power...

Doug, did you see this report on the Mugen supercharged CR-Z? I don't know which SC they are using.

Yea, I'm all over it
But the key is, it's a oneoff, there is zero intention of making it
I can only hope Mugen is helping Honda develop technology that Honda can later apply to a hotter version, and then the key, that they will sell over here in North America
And for the record, that Mugen rear wing is stupid, the C-West rear wing is a million times more tasteful

My new Crosstour accessory wheels are on. I like them.



^The day I bought the car, 6-11-2011 with the stock 18" wheels.



^As it looks today, with the Honda accessory Chrome-look alloy wheels.










^My bike fits in there nicely, now that Jerry showed me how to load it, backwards.

I agree, the chromed/polished wheels look great!

The wheels are not chromed but they do look like black chrome. I took photos of them in the box and you could see that they have a black undercoating of paint. Interesting. In the shade they look very dark.

Mike, I'm just getting used to the looks of this car. It's got a lot of ground clearance. That'll be good when I take to it Kennedy Meadows over the weeds on the dirt roads.
