Japan Report: More Details on Honda’s CR-Z

Honda News Feed · 6th November 2007, 21:50

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.
(Click through to read what may lie underhood in the Honda CR-Z.)

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.

Are those chrome wheels?

I can see me driving one of these in NHB. Is it a 2009 release?
