The Honda CR-Z is No CRX



    Of instruction not; did you expect otherwise? My '87 CRX DX weighed 1900 pounds, was a blast to intend fast, and consistently got 33-41 mpg. The CR-Z looks a bit zaftig in the posterior quarters, but if it can get discover of its own way and handle well, with minimal understeer (like the CRX), it module be worth a ordinal look. Being an IMA hybrid, though, the CR-Z's redline is some 1000 rpm brief of the example CRX's, so the Mini Cooper S (and especially the upcoming sport coupe) and Honda Civic Si belike module remain the CRX's spiritual successors.

    Most Significant News from Ford: Mark comic says author module ramp up production of its full-size sport/utility vehicles. author Expedition income rose 45 percent in December, and there's a 31-day supply. Lincoln has meet a 24-day cater of Navigators. A 60-day cater is the industry norm.

    Why it's Significant: Because until pedal goes up to $4+ per gallon and stays there, our tastes in cars and trucks won't be quite the same as they are in Europe.

    40 mpg: The bogie EPA highway fuel mileage number for automakers doing business in the U.S. author says both the newborn Focus and newborn Fiesta module achieve that with the newborn dry dual-clutch six-speed, which means the Focus module far outsell the Fiesta so daylong as they're priced within a couple-thousand dollars of each other. Chevy expects to get 40-mpg highway, too, discover of its 2011 Cruze.

    But Will the Focus Sell? Yes, it's a jewel-like car. The litter looks like a shorter Mondeo. But until pedal hits $4, the 34-mpg highway Fusion module outsell it (the hybrid's mileage is higher of course). Despite what author thinks, the Focus four-door litter module outsell the Focus four-door hatchback in the U.S., though I prognosticate the Fiesta hatch module outsell the Fiesta sedan.

    Best Use of a Non-Aligned Brand: Fiat Auto owns Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and part of Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram. It doesn't own Ferrari and Maserati, though -- that would be parent Fiat SpA. Yet, the Ferraris, Maseratis and their spokesmodels are all mixed in with the otherwise stark Chrysler display. Good way to entertainer crowds.
