It was supposed to be 2011 but they delayed it for 1 year.

Saw a middle aged white guy driving one on the mary hill bypass headed the opposite direction yesterday morning. The front doesnt look bad at all, in fact to me it was pretty eye catching

Saw a white one on the Alex Fraser bridge last week.. It doesn't look good in pictures but in motion it looks quite attractive. Unfortunately it comes off as quite a large car  | |

Alright, I don't post here any more, but I gotta step in on this one because this is one car's really made an impression on me; moreso, in fact, than 99% of all the other cars I've ever tested.
I've been driving a CR-Z for the past couple weeks as a journalist, and basically, it's absolutely awesome. It's quite nearly perfect, gets phenomenal gas mileage, doesn't look like a dork/chick-mobile like so many other hybrids, and is pretty fun to drive. Don't bother with econ or normal mode though, if anyone here takes one for a test drive, just leave it in sport! I published a full review here, and excuse the stock photography, my camera's back from the repair shop today and I plan to snap a few of the CR-Z later!

Yes, only three colours in Canada (hence my comment about the camera); white, blue and grey. The US gets five colours; white, grey, black, blue, and red. I wish they'd expanded the palette a bit because I would have loved to see the old Type-R yellow come back on this thing... as I would have a whole myriad of primary and fluorescent colours!

And no Audi-esque front LED DRLs! I saw quite a few in Japan last week and it's quite a head turner in person.. I wonder how the weight distribution would change if you were to remove the IMA equipment..

Not by much, the motor is tiny and mounted between the engine and transmission, and the battery weighs something like 15 to 20 pounds underneath the trunk.
And there definitely are blind spots, but I'd say they're no worse than what you get from the 370Z, btw.
