2011 HONDA CRZ Coupe Hybrid - FINALLY A SPORTY HYBRID!

The showroom-ready CR-Z sport hybrid was officially unveiled to the press at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit Michigan. Although the weather was cold, the reception was anything but, for this unique new sport hybrid. With its striking low-slung profile, the CR-Z was arguably the most buzz-worthy debut at the show.

Honda has worked hard to bring a new hybrid to realization. One that not only gave you the performance we all want know-a-days, but delivered on great sporty looks..and an absolutely fun drive!! Introducing the all new 2011 Honda CRZ. Here are some of the specs and info on the CRZ...

As you may expect during the development of any new car, things can be pretty secretive. When the curtain is finally lifted for a new car debut, there is a feeling of extreme excitement. Reviews are coming in at a pretty amazing clip and so far the majority is WIN..WIN!!!



The CR-Z's arrival is significant simply because there's no other vehicle out there like it. It's a hybrid that doesn't drive or look like a typical hybrid. We can't wait to share more details and get more in-depth in the coming weeks and months on this site.

The CR-Z is a modern interpretation of traditional Honda themes- it's small, sporty and efficient

When you first drive the CR-Z, there aren't any obvious signs you're stepping into a "hybrid." It doesn't look like a typical hybrid from the exterior-its sleek, aerodynamic shape is very appealing. The interior features stylish black and aluminum style trim accents. The instrument panel illuminates with 3-dimensional gauges giving a futuristic, multi-layered appearance.

  

The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC^® engine with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist. Honda wanted to provide a personal driving experience, that's why we've included a 6-speed manual as the standard transmission. Even the available CVT version comes with paddle shifters for an added level of control.

  

To customize your driving experience, the CR-Z features an innovative 3- mode drive system (Sport/Normal/Econ). In "Sport" mode, the car's systems are enhanced for performance, meaning the steering is more responsive, and the engine becomes more energetic. In "Econ" mode, the car's systems are optimized for enhanced fuel efficiency. The electric motor assist gives priority to the air-conditioning system, helping reduce its overall load on the engine. "Normal" mode is a great compromise between the two, giving you a balanced level of performance and fuel economy.

  

We are excited about this great looking, sporty Hybrid, and believe it will be a huge hit for us...So far the only word on release date is summer..we will keep you informed on everything as it comes to us...Check back regularly for updates.
