Car Review: 2016 Honda CR-Z

Colleagues of mine here at Driving often speculate as to which new models today will be the hot collectibles of tomorrow. With its sporty manual transmission, hybrid powerplant and boy-racer styling, don’t bet against the 2016 Honda CR-Z being a hot item at a Barrett-Jackson auction in, say, 2030.

Further enhancing its value is the fact this model year marks the last for the hybrid-powered two-seater, which debuted in 2010 as the ‘spiritual successor’ to the CR-X, incidentally a model that is today in high demand with collectors.

Honda announced the discontinuation of the CR-Z last month, citing anemic global sales and a renewed emphasis on two new electrified models – presumably the Accord and Clarity, the latter of which is not on sale in Canada. So, in reviewing the 2016 CR-Z, there’s a bit of finality to it all. Criticisms and suggestions for improvements for the next model year are somewhat pointless (not to suggest automakers take journalist’s recommendations to heart), so its really more an exercise on judging the car for what it is.

In this case, it’s a blast.
