Honda has just unveiled the production version of the CR-Z hybrid, looking like and taking after the original CRX. The CRX, after all, was introduced as an efficient model, that quickly became a favorite of enthusiasts and tuners alike due to its sporty driving dynamics.
The CR-Z uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor to make 122-hp at 6000 rpm and 128 ft-lbs of torque at 1000 to 1500 rm when mated to a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission or 122-hp and 123 ft-lbs of torque with a CVT automatic. As for fuel-economy, it’s rated at 36-mpg city and 38-mpg highway.
The CR-Z comes with a three-mode driving system, with buttons on the steering wheel to choose Sport, Normal and Economy driving. Sport mode delivers a more responsive throttle, with tighter steering and the tachometer lights up bright red when in Sport model. Econ mode delivers optimum fuel efficiency with reduced pedal feel. The air conditioning system will also reduce its lag on the engine in Econ mode. Normal mode delivers standard settings, and in both Normal and Econ mode, the tachometer display will light up blue or green depending on how the vehicle is driven – with a green display representing the most fuel-efficient driving.
Like the Insight, the CR-Z offers and Eco Guide to help driver’s keep track of fuel economy.
Two trim levels will be offered in the U.S., a base CR-Z and well-equipped EX model. The six-speed manual is standard, as is Vehicle Stability Assist, an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with six speakers, automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, remote entry and cruise control. The CR-Z EX includes HID Headlights fog lights, a 360-Watt AM/FM/CD premium audio system with seven speakers including subwoofer, Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. EX models will get the option for navigation.

I liked the concept's front end better. Any interior pics?

And whats the MSRP?

USDM model once again gets shorted.

Missing the rear seats.

is it me or does it look a lot uglier than the leaked pictures of it a couple months back

The front looks OK.. They should rip the roof off and call it a del-sol or smth..

this car is a pos
8th gen civic lights, audi front grill, insight body, the wheels are too small, and the rear is butchered, rear glass hatch thingy I can't describe and only thing I like about this thing is the interior.

look at the size of the lights (both front and back) on the red usdm one. The front bumper fascia makes it look like a retard.
