That Honda could have done more with the CR-Z than the lukewarm hybrid sport-hatch that resulted is no big news. But Mugen is here to highlight the point. After teasing us with some initial details, a rendering and a shot of the engine bay, the pseudo-works Honda tuner has released the first photos... 

The 2011 Honda CR-Z may not exactly be sailing to success here in the U.S., but it has managed to walk away with the coveted Japan Car of the Year title. In order to celebrate, Honda has decided to work up a new special edition version of its tiny sport hybrid. Only available in a special “Pearl... 

For the past 31 years, Japan has selected a Car of the Year award recipient. Over 60 jurors, composed mainly of Japanese journalists, vote on a vehicle worthy of the Car of the Year title, and the auto that receives the most nods drives away with the crown. Last year, that honor went to the redesigned... 

Wraptivo showed up at SEMA with two vinyl-wrapped masterpieces: a 2011 Honda CR-Z and a 2010 Nissan GT-R. In addition to the faux carbon fiber skin, the CR-Z hybrid wears a smattering of factory Honda aero pieces and aftermarket performance hardware. To give the hatch a little more pep, the Wraptivo... 

Honda has a grand total of 12 different CR-Zs on display at this year’s SEMA show. In addition to the Mugen and Hybrid R we showed you earlier, the Japanese automaker has created the CR-Z with Genuine Honda Accessories and HPD CR-Z Racer, and eight other companies have put their spins on the compact... 

Honda’s big introduction at this year’s Paris Motor Show may have been the 2011 Jazz Hybrid, but that doesn’t mean the Japanese automaker didn’t bring some other automotive fodder for us to look at. Here, for example, is the new CR-Z hybrid hatch wearing some of Honda’s... 

Let’s get this out of the way right now: the 2011 Honda CR-Z is not a CRX redux. To compare the two – no matter how much Honda may want to – is to misunderstand the former and besmirch the latter. No, the hybrid CR-Z is an entirely different beast. Despite its three-door shape and two-seat... 

After a few weeks worth of leaked images and brochure fluff, Honda has finally pulled the covers off its next new production hybrid hatchback. The Japanese automaker claims the CR-Z will bring back the kind of driving joy that hasn’t been felt since the CRX last left dealer lots in 1991, saying... 

The latest issue of EVO hasn’t dropped into our laps yet, but our favorite Brit pub apparently got the scoop on another variant of the Toyota FT-86 — one that’s supposedly track tuned and considerably cheaper than the model due to arrive in 2011. Powered by the same Subaru-sourced,... 

Honda fans of all sorts have cause to celebrate today with the reveal of the 2009 iteration of the CR-Z coupe. In typical Honda fashion, this CR-Z remains a concept in name and detail only. What you see here is essentially the production coupe that will go on sale in Japan next February and then...
