It's not bad with the styling cues.
Maybe, they will (or should) introduce a larger engine with more horsepower in the future if the lower hp versions sell well.

1.2L turbo 
and not too long ago, people were laughing at chevrolet for using 1.4L turbos on the Cruze/Sonic

Looks good, although I can't say I ever plan on wanting a crossover or a hybrid.

Whenever I see a CX-3 on the streets, I always think to myself how disproportionately small they look. It is based off the Mazda 2 we're not getting, but it feels like the greenhouse should have been taller, it looks like a squished Mazda 2 with a lifted ride height

The CX-3 to me is a larger, more useful Mazda2, but is the underpowered, undersized and less practical sibling of the CX-5.
So basically this C-HR is following the same forumla, ie. based off the Prius, smaller than the RAV-4, but dosen't have the same interior volume (that roofline can't be good for rear passengers larger than kids), or power output.
But in this market segment, this is the only hybrid available I think... does the Kia Soul EV count?

I'm more of a less is more/modernist type person, so these don't do it for me at all.

Pretty sure it's called the CH-R not the HC-R 
What I'm most puzzled about is how rear passengers will be able to see out those windows at all, they're probably the smallest rear windows on a four door vehicle ever...

While the car is definitely no powerhouse, I found the engine performance to be quite adequate. IIRC, it is an exhausted-restricted version of the engine in the Mazda, but if you step on it for a bit, the engine does have some go, esp after the 3k rpm mark.

I've had the misfortune of driving a rental Mazda2 auto, and the power levels of that thing for anything other than inner city traffic is just a sad, sad experience. If it were a manual, however, the Mazda2 is quite a bit of fun to drive.
Mind you, the Mazda2 uses the previous gen 1.5L MZR engine, whereas the CX-3 uses a less powerful version of the 2.0L SkyActiv engine, but it is a heavier vehicle.
For the CH-R, the real life pics make it look a lot longer / larger than I first though. The rear roofline also makes me wonder how much the rear passenger headroom is gonna be compromised.

The CX-3 is not based off the old Mazda 2 that we still have in North America, it is based off the refreshed completely new Mazda 2 that other markets around the world have that Mazda has said North America won't be getting, instead we get the CX-3, perhaps because Americans don't particularly fancy tiny cars?

Got D-pillar blind spots, bro?
Also, what is with new cars that are designed like they've already been in an accident?

Any word on pricing?
My girlfriend will finally be getting a car. She really want's a Defender, and i'd love to build one up for her but honestly with the idiots on the road, something with decent crash safety ratings means more to me then an awesome vehicle. I am getting old

Lost interest as soon as they announced the motor. All of Toyota's modern ZR motors legitimately sound like lawn motors, or a snow blower or something. It's got this unrefined grainy sound that's really unpleasant.
