Honda makes a commercial crappy enough to match their car

The narrators voice is so flat and emotionless.

I don't really like the CRZ... this commercial didn't really help that.

I bet they will blame the cinematographer for this just like they blamed the photographer for the Crosstour press photos. Honda keeps making reasons for me to not like them.

Many middle-class Americans would like very much to own a CR-Z and we shouldn't make fun of it, or the poor employees of the ad agency who are just trying to put food on the table for their wife and kids.

I would drive it to save gas, if it was given to me. But it's pretty dumb in my opinion to make a manual transmission, hybrid, that only seats 2. Who is their target market?

And it doesn't even break 40mpg? Seriously?

The Honda CR-Z. Excellent gas mileage if you are not away of cars that get excellent gas mileage.



Buy a damn diesel already.

What struck me was how long it took to go from 20 to 22. Making it as slow as a 240sx.... :chuckle:

Wait didn't you say that you owned a 240sx for 14 years or so?! That sucks for YOU then! ;) :chuckle:
Yep I did own one. Loved it too despite it being so underpowered.

Picture of it at Summit Point Main's paddock several years ago, besides my friend's modded S6, who famously labelled my car a "rolling chicane". :biggrin:
