After showcasing two concept cars under the CR-Z nameplate (in Tokyo in 2007 and again in 2009) Honda finally took the wraps off the production version at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
The spiritual successor to the diminutive CR-X, the CR-Z sits low to the ground and is dominated by an imposing, large bumper - a familar face first seen on the 2007 concept. The exterior's wedge form originates from its low-slung hood to form a broad forward stance while the side profile conveys a dynamic tension, with a deeply inset beltline. From the rear, the car's tall decklid is reminiscent of the Prius and Insight, which serves to minimize drag and improve aerodynamics.
