Just came across this on one of my JDM Fit friend's blogs. Released at the Tokyo motor show, it's basically Honda's idea of a futuristic CR-X. Not too fond of the front of the car myself, but the side and rear profiles really look nice. Wonder if this will ever make it into production in the near future in some form or another . . .

holy baloney. that concept is so flashy i really doubt it is gonna look anything like that in production, if ever. but i could be proved wrong.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to, but if they could keep the overall stance and profile intact, and give it decent performance to match, I'd trade the Fit in in a heartbeat. Only thing is I don't like the snout nose on the front; I'd want a bit more of a traditional layout if it actually gets produced. Still, 21st Century lightweight sports concept works for me.

 

Yeah... so the Fit may get sold if they come out with this... ;)

 

It's part of the Tokyo Auto Show. Check out the Urban Puyo. LOL

Interior, otherwise,... ehh. :D

 

with a little bit of work, that thing would sell easy, and I would b a buyer! :D

 

Found more about this on my company's intranet:

HEADLINE: Honda to Unveil Hybrid Sports CarBYLINE: By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer
DATELINE: TOKYO
BODY:
Hybrids don't have to sacrifice looks to be environmentally friendly they can be muscular and stylish, too. That's the message Honda hopes to send at this month's Tokyo auto show with its new gas-electric hybrid sports car CR-Z.
"This is something rivals can't offer," Tetsuji Morikawa, a Honda Motor Co. engineer, said of the CR-Z, whose sales date is promised for the "near future."
The vehicle has maintained "the essence of the sports car" while still delivering good mileage and less pollution, he said.
Hybrid vehicles tend to be bulkier than sleek sports cars because of the size and complexity of the hybrid systems, which include a battery, motor, engine, converter and other parts. They're usually not known for their torque, acceleration, handling and innovative design.
The CR-Z comes with a new hybrid system developed by Honda whose breakthroughs allowed designers to get around such restrictions to achieve its lean cutting-edge look, said Morikawa, while declining to give details about the hybrid system and the vehicle.
The model will be on display at the biannual Tokyo Motor Show, which opens to the public Oct. 27 in the Tokyo suburb of Chiba.

 

Nice to see what the CR-X might evolve into. However, I have been spoilt by all the cargo room in the Fit.
I doubt I will get a car in the future with no interior cargo room. But if I become rich enough I could just get a cargo car and a sports car heeheh. And this would fit the bill as the no-cargo-space sports car :D:D

 

I saw that today too, i LOVE it!

 

I love it just tone it down a bit. ;)
