Honda has announced that the Honda CR-Z hybrid sports car will go on sale in February 2010 and the Honda Fit Hybrid will go on sale before the end of 2010. Both cars will use Honda’s current Integrated Motor Assist system which currently combines a 1.3 liter engine with an electric motor.
They’ve also revealed that a new hybrid system for mid to large vehicles is also under development. This is definitely important especially for the Acura brand, as its competitors have line-ups full of hybrids now, and Lexus even has a dedicated hybrid model called the HS250h.
The last hybrid system with a large engine that Honda had was found in the previous generation Honda Accord in the US. It combined a 14kW brushless electric motor and a 3.0 liter V6 with Variable Cylinder Management that allowed it to run on 3 cylinders out of 6. Like the smaller IMA system, it was a parallel hybrid system which means it could not run on electric motor only.
Kewl!!!
look nice from front…
but look like audi a bit…
look like a car from the future….. way cool man… definitely better than outdated design of T Prius…. go Honda!…..

six + one words: the design does not make sense. urgh.

mr mohd, dream on for lower car prices for non national cars!! it will never happen! =)
Paul, you should stop getting us excited with the headlines, only to know later that ‘coming’ does not mean coming to Malaysia.
For a moment, I thought we are really right there with the rest. Hehehehe!
i wonder where they gort all the name..
CR-V.., CR-Z..
rather M.I.C.K.E.Y-M.O.U.S.E…!
Waiiiiiittt!!!!
Where is CR-Y ?
aiyohh… CR-Z superseded all CR version meh?
i dont like the grill, overall so futuristic but the grill so outdated like toyota cars
Agreed. I feel the grill and the nose makes it look like a Basset Hound. It is cute…..I guess. =/
If you want to buy Hybrids wait. Wait another 5 years. Some student-researcher just published a paper on rechargable batteries which will make charging it mere seconds compared to hours now. The paper has been publish in Nature or was it Science. Next year, telephone companies are expected to use the technology on the batteries, then cars soon to follow.
Yeah. It’s a start.

‘Honda Fit Hybrid will go on sale before the end of 2010.’
how much do you think?
WHY WOULDN’T YO DESIGN CAR LIKE THIS, PROTON!!!??? ARE YOUR DESIGNERS BRAIN FRIED OR SOMETHING???!!!
thekhai , u must know that malays got no people who are good enought in design and even beable to preview their car desgin, every artist hv to depend on the deadly comercial advertising to survive, poor. However some of the people design and modify their car by self, but sometime they spoil the line or the original design concept and make the car looks loosy~. and what i dont like the most is car maker always spoil the condept car design when come to production, maybe just some different to make it more practicle, but what is the practicle they hv made? where? and how ? they always spoil the most important part , which is the reason why the car looks awsome~, and make is become feeling less, T.T
