CARS | Honda's CR-Z Another green car Honda boss Takeo Fukui announced that, based on the CR-Z Concept car - a small, nimble sports car. Unlike the Honda FCX is powered by hydrogen, the CR-Z hybrid uses a traditional transmission.
Drove the new Honda coupe hybrid CR-Z this week - and knocked my socks. Each year, I think the cars are two or three and I'm surprised. Cars that offer the greatest impact are often those where you would expect, at least not for fantasy called missile Modenese, but closer to the earth more than the price.
The new sports car will be the start of Japanese manufacturers moving aggressively for hybrid cars. Honda is working on the family car of a "hybrid world", scheduled for launch in 2009.
The concept makes it the ideal candidate to replace the CR-X. CarAdvice is sure to become a new CR-X. Last year was the Skoda Yeti, and this year was a shock so far been inexpensive Dacia Duster. The margin between expectations and reality can be higher in the ranks. As someone else tells you to design a car with a brilliant small budget is like climbing Mount Everest than the walk to launch a super-car price of a phone book.
