This is the Honda CR-Z. It looks sort of a new version of Honda CRX, seems they're bringing it back.

Jclarke;988851]Nissan 350 - Z is what you referred to, si?

yes, that's the one almost look alike but not exactly i'm thinking little bit of toyota celica and a little bit of ferrari look alike.
new honda CR-Z a little bit different shape. that's unique looking than old model CRX.

Also I can be means if you are on expired warranty.

A person who sold his/her car right after the warranty expires is very smart person.

This honda CR-Z almost look same as nissan (I forget what model is)

I saw a beautiful car both inside and outside from chrysler new model: Bahamas. Inside look so unique like a future car and moonroof window is new and unique like the whole window. They says it will come out in 2009/2010.

Right now, our technology is limited, I prefer gas based vehicle, including car and SUV over hybrid vehicle because of cheaper to buy and less maintenance cost than hybrid vehicle.

We really get deal with high gas price until alternative fuel has release in near future.

For me, I prefer medium sized car, also accident rate on car are varies, just depends on brand, some are good, some are poor.

In Australia, we have this new petrol called "Ethonal" (whatever it spells) and it is not good, it can give you a risk of damaging your engine in the long term.

In other hands, for me, I used to have a large car, but I sold it since it is too expensive to pay for the fuel/gas, as I knew that the prices would have gone sky high which it effectively did. I bought a small one actually, thank god.

We have ethanol in USA too, it use 85% of corn and 15% crude oil but it has low gas mileage than gas based car,

Also ethanol blend with regular gasoline. No engine damage if you use from beginning and better for the environment. When we lived in El Paso , TX they took away regular gas and only available ethanol blend.

I had to repost because my post was in the wrong place yesterday, it looks like they fixed that issue already.

Do you think small car is dangerous like toyota yaris or volkswagon golf?
Because of dangerous crash.
And Why?

Or

Do you think big truck is safety like nissan titan or toyota tacoma? Or SUVs?
Because of strong or easy rollover?

Your opinion.
(Both ladies and guys)

Back to topic.

Size do not matter about safely. It's weight and type of frame.

Smart car gets highest score in crash tests - Autos - MSNBC.com

Smallest car is safety due lighter weight.

lighter weight vs heavy weight.

SUV is more risk than most cars *depend on frame type* not just roll over it's about weight also heavy weight cause bad mpg.

Wow, right picture should be fatal accident or very serious injury, ouch...

PePe LePew · 05-27-2008, 12:38 PM

Small car saved on gas than med or large car & truck

I see many people sellin their med and large new and used truck and car that uses more gas and my friend had to get rid of her caravan to buy a small car due gas prices going up.

Look at this video, which one looks more painful?

The Highlander · 05-27-2008, 10:39 PM

That's what you paid $80k for.

Mercedes,BMW, Audi and other german product are very stronger frame unlike American.

It's whole point about weight.

JClarke · 05-27-2008, 10:40 PM

I believe the small one looks painful, eh!

The Highlander · 05-27-2008, 10:44 PM

What's your point? Everyone know rear is very weak than side and front. High speed crash should happen at front and side mostly but rear, very rare. Use your common sense. Smartass.

Image If I put CR-Z in the line up and see what happens?

I want that car but my hubby don't like it... so we bought one year old opel corsa last year to replace our dead BMW and also bought another one year old benz mercedes A150 at 2 months ago to replace our dead VW Golf.
