TEASED! Honda Starts Showing Off Bits & Pieces Of Its Updated CR-Z

The Honda CR-Z is one of those vehicles that a lot of folks had great hopes for, however, when it finally came to the market it just didn't quite meet expectations. Sure, it was unique because it offered a manual transmission in a hybrid vehicle but its MPG ratings didn't blow us away.

I will admit, however, it's probably one of the most fun hybrids that I've driven. A standard gearbox goes a long way, folks!

I'd assume after getting downed by a healthy majority that Honda has some unfinished business to attend to.

While expectations are once again running high -- with some hoping for a more powerful turbo variant -- it seems that Honda's Japanese website is running a video teasing some elements of the upcoming 2013(?) model year product.

Obviously when you can't read Japanese that makes things a bit more difficult; however, the most intriguing clip comes when Honda shows off a button that's clearly an "S+." We're feeling pretty confident that Honda will offer the updated CR-Z with a Sport + tuning that will further sharpen the throttle response and give the CR-Z more of a kick in the pants.

...yeah, yeah, yeah. Honda pretty much does everything, within their power, that Toyota does. They just dont have the engineering prowes or the top engineer recruiting leverage has had like forever. Go ahead, show it off because as long as Toyota has an heir at the helm they will stay at the top of their game.

This post doesn't even have anything to do with Toyota, yet the ToyotaBot felt the need to bring up Toyota. Feeling the heat? Insecure bunch these Toyota fans. They always have to claim that Toyota is the best, rather than acknowledge competition. The Toyota fans that I see here are flat out horrible cars fans.

How many times do they need to defend lameness? I guess they’re using what is currently being used in politics; which is if you keep repeating a lie eventually people will start believing it.

What a lame reply. The only "Sucker" that I see hear is you. Can you tell me why you chose to post about how good Toyota is (without being asked), on a thread that isn't about Toyota? Did you do it to get the “Suckers” to respond? You expect people to believe that?

All your replies follow the same theme as your reply to this post. Toyota is the best… Toyota is on a roll…. Nothing but pro Toyota crap. Even when Toyota isn’t the subject of the thread you bring up crap about how much better Toyota is (like this thread). You are a delusional fanboy, and its people like you why I took on the “LexSucks” persona. You guys are the worse car fans ever.
