If the little curve of the rear window jutting into the c-pillar can be called a Hoffmeister kink, I move that henceforward the triangular hockey-stick c-pillar shape be known as the Teague swoop. Too bad Richard Teague didn't patent it. That swoop is everywhere now. The CR-Z has only a weak version of it. For the stronger version, try the Nissan Murano, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV-4, and the late Pontiac Vibe, to name just a few. Once seen as an offensive outlier, this styling tic has become a mainstream cliche. Go figure.

Danddd Or just get a CX5 or 50 instead.
Groza George My next car will be a PHEV truck if I can find one I like. I travel a lot for work and the only way I would get a full EV is if hotels and corporate housing all have charging stations.I would really like a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier PHEV
Slavuta Motor Trend"Although the interior appears more upscale, sit in it a while and you notice the grainy plastics and conventional design. The doors sound tinny, the small strip of buttons in the center stack flexes, and the rear seats are on the firm side (but we dig the ability to recline). Most frustrating were the repeated Apple CarPlay glitches that seemed to slow down the apps running through it."
Brandon I would vote for my 23 Escape ST-Line with the 2.0L turbo and a normal 8 speed transmission instead of CVT. 250 HP, I average 28 MPG and get much higher on trips and get a nice 13" sync4 touchscreen. It leaves these 2 in my dust literally
