Honda CR-Z










Looking around on the other blogs and forums this morning it would appear that talking about the CR-Z involves a lot of "Look like x" comparisons. "Looks like an Audi from the front" "Looks like a Beluga whale" "Looks like a Maserati" "Looks like Mazda" Well, you get the idea.

CR-Z is supposed to stand for 'Compact Renaissance Zero'. Whatever Honda wants to call it, we'll all think CRX. The CR-Z is equipped with equipped with Honda's original gas-electric hybrid system which "Achieves both clean performance and a high level of torque."

I'm on the fence about this design. It certainly doesn't make me want to rush down to my Honda dealer and drop a deposit. Perhaps when there are more pictures of this car released, preferably with something other than a stark white background, my opinion might change.
