Don’t Ask Y: Honda CRX Reborn as CR-Z Concept

Probably the car the poky Insight should’ve been, Honda’s very sporty CR-Z gasoline-electric hybrid concept evokes the dearly departed CRX two-seater, right down to the glass panel on the hatchback. The name stands for “Compact Renaissance Zero,” which, according to Honda, is “intended to capture the idea of a renaissance in the design of compact cars that begins anew from fundamentals.” Um, okay. The car looks production-ready to us. Let’s have it. Honda will introduce the CR-Z at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, which starts October 26 at the Makuhari Messe convention center, and runs through November 11.
