Tests in the "Eco" mode revealed scores closer to the European tests, which was around 46~50mpg. The US test was conducted in “Normal” mode… resulting in the 37mpg.

They really didn't succeed at any of those for the U.S. model. I think the extra 2 seats in the Euro model would be a great improvement and could make this vehicle at least a good option in the subcompact market. Also, regarding the MPG, the Euro estimates are always way off and it probably has to do with too many different variables, but I do know that the U.S. model EPA MPG numbers were from the vehicle in "Normal" mode, not Eco. Maybe the Euro model MPG test was done in Eco(?) Anyway, I'm writing this comment to put my vote in for a Euro CRZ in the States.

I expect the real fuel figures to be early 50mpg which is very good (this is a clean petrol and not a dirty diesel with low co2)I think the car will be a winner so resist casting asumptions until you have at least tried it. Honda has at least dared to be different. no one else has brought to market a Sport Coupe Hybrid and it'll drive like a 1.8 petrol engine in a small car so will perform absolutely fine. If you want fast-fast then you don't want a Hybrid. You can't (in the UK at least) have fast and cheap tax. There is the Civic Type R if you want performance but the CR-Z is as much about style too and brings the market to different consumers and i'm sure it will be well recieved.
