It’s almost like the rebirth of the original two-door Insight – minus the fender skirts: Honda announced this week that the production version of its CR-Z hybrid coupe concept, shown at the Tokyo Motor Show, will reach Canada in the second half of 2010.

While the vehicle on display at the show currently is a global concept with a rear seat, the production version bound for Canada and the U.S. will be packaged as a sporty, two-seat hybrid.

“The new Honda CR-Z will expand our lineup of hybrid vehicles and reinforce the fun-to-drive values associated with the Honda brand,” said Jerry Chenkin, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc. “Beyond dynamic styling and features, the CR-Z will bring new levels of engagement and fun to Canadians who are interested in a small car or a hybrid vehicle.”

Honda’s CR-Z Sports Hybrid–The Reality Lurking Deep Within The Crystal Ball?

Shades of CR-X are alive and kicking in the CR-Z for sure, but are sports hybrids the future of automotive performance? How engaging can a “sports hybrid” be? Will CR-Z be the same as the Mugen Insight we featured a few months back-a bodykit and some trick wheels?

The CR-Z, which is Honda speak for “Compact Renaissance Zero,” made quite a splash at the ‘07 Tokyo Auto Show. It is Reportedly headed for production in 2010.

While we would all like to see a “Special K” edition with a K20A under the hood replete with Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid powertrain riding shotgun, Honda has released little technical information on the production version. Stay tuned, we will continue to work the crystal ball on this one.
