Identity Crisis: 2011 Honda CR-Z
Identity Crisis: 2011 Honda CR-Z - Automobile Magazine
The show car's cool styling got noticed, but so did the hybrid badge. So we can't help but wonder: is the 2011 Honda CR-Z just another hybrid for fuel-economy dorks or a hot hatch for cool dudes?

Honda's CRX is something of a legend, one of those cars about which everyone seems to have memories. Fond memories at that, usually involving an ultracool college-age dude who drove the wheels off one. The first-generation Honda Insight, on the other hand, is a car that the in crowd probably doesn't even remember, but it was pure dork delight. With an aluminum unibody, it was the first hybrid to reach the U.S. and posted the highest EPA combined fuel economy number of all time: 53 mpg (49/61 mpg city/highway).
