Honda CR-Z concept set for production

The second green-car announced by Honda boss, Takeo Fukui, will be based on the CR-Z Concept car - a small, agile sportscar. Unlike the Honda FCX which is powered by Hydrogen, the CR-Z utilises a traditional hybrid powertrain.
The new sports car will mark the beginning of the Japanese manufacturers aggressive move towards Hybrid cars. Honda is currently working on a ‘global hybrid’ family car which is scheduled for launch in 2009.
The concept makes an ideal candidate for a CRX replacement. Given its a small coupe, there is a possibility Honda will relaunch the CRX badge. A Hybrid CRX? Yes please!
“The CR-Z is a model that symbolizes Honda’s hybrid technology,” Fukui said. “The CR-Z features a dynamic yet sharp exterior design that makes people want to get in and drive.“
Production schedule and launch time for the CR-Z are yet to be officially announced.

its good to see that honda can make a hybrid that you might want to buy as a car rather than an environmental statement. It looks really good.

It better not be a hybrid. I was hoping for a lightweight sports car Sprinter-style.

How would you get a tow bracket on that with two exhausts poking thro’……Only Joking. Not bad if a bit small.
Can a hybrid pull a trailer?
