New Honda CR-Z front-end similar to RX-8

The cars themselves don't really look similar, but the shape of the grille below the hood is very similar to the 8s.

I wonder if Honda will screw up this car. The CRX line was a classic and Honda just frittered it away, like all their sporty cars.

Isn't this going to be a hybrid? I guess I wonder what kind of crowd Honda is going after with this car? The ricer crowd won't buy a hybrid and it is too small for anyone that needs space for family, etc., and outside of looks I don't think there will be much "sporty" performance from it.

Yes, I have read that it will be a hybrid from all the articles on it. Agree that the hybrid aspect will not appeal to the ricers or the sporty crowd. I guess it's going to be a chick car?

Honda should bring out a hybrid version and non-hybrid Si version.

I'm sure they'll find a way to mess this car up like all their newer vehicles. See Crosstour...
