So...guess what the wife bought herself...(Pictures added)

2012 Honda CR-Z with a 6MT and navigation.

Pearl white with grey interior. We had to do a dealer trade to get it, so pictures will just have to wait until Monday.

Your wife drives a stick shift? Very nice.

Is your wife available?

J/K

I'll be damned if I will ever get my wife in the driver's seat to teach her how to drive a manual..

Congrats!

The only ones available at my honda are CVT. I'm sure she will love it, let us know what real world mileage is like on those things.

I sat in one when we bought our CR-V. Very cool looking and great interior. Great for someone with no kids and a short dog. Didn't work for the 4 y/o and the Weimaraner brothers though.

Well there has been a snag...

It turns out the white CR-Z we wanted has had a Mugen body kit added to it. So we're passing on that. Good thing I asked my dealer to call the other...

We ordered a blue EX 6MT that should be here by Thanksgiving. So I apologize for the delay. Pics when the car shows up

How much did the Mugen kit add to the list price? I kind of liked the Mugen kit. I have been wanting to get my girl one also.

I am beginning to grow weary of these mudslingers & their troll accusations.


On a more constructive note, is there any way to disable the start-stop on this car? I would find that to be annoying in stop-and-go traffic.
