This is the Honda CR-Z, Honda's new two-seat hybrid-powered sports coupe, which many see as the spiritual successor to Honda's legendary CRX. The CR-Z's hybrid powertrain uses a larger engine than the system found in Honda's Insight and Civic Hybrid (1.5 liters vs. 1.3); total output is 122 horsepower and 128 lb-ft, and the CR-Z is the first hybrid car in several years to offer a manual transmission. EPA fuel economy estimates are 31 MPG city/37 MPG highway for the manual-transmission CR-Z, 36/38 for the continuously-variable automatic.
