The CRZ really doesn't make any sense to me. It's too slow to be a "pocket rocket," (0-60 in 10.5 seconds) and it gets only 33mpg.

As a sports coupe, the Civic SI is way better. About the same price, waaaay faster (0-60 in 6.7 seconds), similar interior space (+2 more mostly useable seats), though it does get worse mileage (24 mpg combined).
As an eco car, the Civic hybrid is way better. About the same price, gets better mileage (42mpg) and has way more interior space, though it is a bit slower (13.5 seconds 0-60).

Seems like they tried to find a midpoint between these 2 vehicles, but it ends up being too slow and not efficient enough. I do like the styling, but the car just seems misplaced.
