The CR-Z being named Japan's car of the year, combined with my newfound Honda fanboyism (did I mention I love my Civic Si?), has made me think about the four-wheeled enigma that is the CR-Z. And I couldn't help but think:
(1) Rip the powertrain out of a CRZ.
(2) Put a K20 under the hood.
(3) Put SH-AWD where the hybrid batteries used to live.
(4) Call it the CR-Z Si.
(5) Profit.
Why would this not be a smart move for Honda? It'd be a parts-bin special that wouldn't be too expensive for Honda to develop and build, but it'd also be a bit of a halo car now that the S2000 is gone.
