Japan’s grapevine is convinced it knows what’s under the hood of Honda’s upcoming CR-Z sports coupe.
As displayed at the
Tokyo Show, Honda would only say the
CR-Z – which will be both a new CR-X and replacement for the Insight – had a gas/electric hybrid powertrain.

But the scoop meisters predict the CR-Z will run with a ramped up version of the 1.3-liter +
IMA set-up in the Civic hybrid, delivering both 118 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.
Economy is expected to be in the 66 mpg ballpark and the car on sale price around ¥2.5 million, say $22,000, or thereabouts. So how do those numbers work for you? Let us know in
comments.
