Lightbulb Mugen CR-Z Launched

I was excited about this headline thinking a car with an extremely low Co. Car tax charge that might be fun to drive.

However, it appears that Mugen have sold their soul to the devil and are now merely purveyors of stick on tat.

Doesn't surprise me.......the whole CRZ thing being the spiritual successor to the crx is a load of tosh. Honda/Mugen could have made a real stonker of a 2 seater if it had a decent amount of bhp and didn't look quite so weird from the 3/4 rear view.

CRZ Type-R with the Civic Type-R engine.....now that would be......

They would never do it though becos of the "GREEN" branding................

Now that its released it seems to have much more favorable reviews

I quite like it and think its refreshingly different.

I quite like the normal CRZ and with prices starting at approx £11k now for a 2010, in a years time would be under £10k. Id still keep the Scooby in the garage for trackdays, meets etc and sorrn it for winter 4 to 6 months. For a daily drive a CRZ bought for under £10k and 46mpg combined would be interesting?
