Default Would you drive it?

Ever see that Blendtec commercial called "Will it blend?" Same idea here except instead of putting random things into a blender, you get to tell AF whether or not you would drive it, and why.

Rules:
1. Operate under the assumption that you will be given the car for free, and your other expenses would not change (gas, insurance, etc.)
2. "I'd take it and then sell it" is not a legitimate response.
3. The car in question must be an actual production automobile available for purchase someplace on the planet, even if you can't afford it, OR a prototype/concept vehicle-provided interwebical evidence of said vehicle exists. Bugatti Veyron is OK, that buggy they had on the Apollo 11 moon landing is not.

The first contestant, the 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid:


GO!

A weird throwback to the CRX... I'd love to take it for a rip, but no, I wouldn't want one in the driveway.

I'm pissed at myself. The styling isn't all that bad.. The back should have been more CRX'ish then Prius'ish but it looks alright.

Would I drive it? If it was a TDI I so would. But it's that shitty hybrid BS.

I vote for 1 rule change. Prototypes can be used. Assuming it's for the future not a failed prototype.

I'll add it to the rules with a caveat that you have to show published evidence of said prototype.

For the record I wouldn't drive that piece of sh*t either lol

If we're allowed to modify it, I probably would.

Wouldn't drive it. Nothing with 'Hybrid' in the name, unless its a hybrid car/robot. Almost like something that transforms, you know, like more than meets the eye?

I just want to know how they can call a hybrid a sports car. Have you guys seen that tesla? I'm wondering if it has something along those lines going on... It wouldn't exactly be the efficient hybrid everyone's used to, but if that's the case, I might rock that car.

I think its funny that on the commercial, it shows that its in "sport" mode and the camera pans to a shot of the spedo....but its moving like 20..........21..............22................23 lol
No, I would really do everything in my power to not have that in my driveway. It seems like it would be a good way to get beat up...

Next up, the original H1 Hummer. Big. Wide. Diesel. Sick. I would totally drive this beast.
