One of the new concept cars Honda will unveil at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show is the CR-Z sports compact, a possible preview of a replacement for the popular Honda CRX. The official tagline for the concept is “a next-generation lightweight sports car equipped with a Honda petrol-electric hybrid system” but telltale signs this is a likely precursor to a new CRX is the familiar profile and glass rear end. It doesn’t hurt that both cars share a very similar name as well.

Key features of the new concept include the over-sized grill and aggressive wedge shape, centrally mounted dual exhaust pipes and a rear glass hatch. Other design details included in the CR-Z are the electronic side-mirrors, LED headlights and 19in alloys.

For the interior, designers attempted to combine a sporty look with something that remains modern and high-tech. The result was the adoption of a mesh material for most of the surfaces with plenty of glass and LEDs laid out across the instrument panel.

    Wonder what the toned down production version will look like. Honda needs to hurry up & offer more models - especially Acura.

    Maybe the stylists who did the current Civic weren't fired when the Accord was designed -- they were working on this.

    It looks to me as the rumoured SIlvia's enemy. Good news, even for green activists. But keep engines under 2.0 litres and four cylinders, a couple of turbochargers can do the rest.

    this could well be a KILLER APP of the 'sports hybrid' genre!

    if they utilized super capacitors (as the race winning toyota supra hybrid did), this could well deliver performance like the s2000, with mileage possibly in the 45 - 60 mpg range.
