2011 Honda CR-Z - Honda's Hybrid Answer to the Prius

This year's CR-Z is designed to be the heir to the Insight and to gain control of the hybrid market. For most of the first decade of the Twenty-first Century sales of all Honda hybrids fell far short to those of the Prius alone. Unsurprisingly, Honda hopes that the 2011 CR-Z will be the answer to their prayers.

From the outside, the 2011 CR-Z is squat and menacing but with a huge, clear hatch lid that continues to be modern even though it seems to have been taken straight from the old Insight. The CR-Z's device panel's structure, lighting and style, which create the revolutionary internal look while staying true to Honda's obsession with the functional.

All in all, the CR-Z seems to straddle the fence between green and boy-racer without completely perfecting either. Despite this reality, the CR-Z is an eye-catching ride with modern style hints within and without. Perhaps the best aspect of the CR-Z visual is discovered in the style of the back hatch out and over-sized taillights.

Going Green in Your Car

Currently the environmental situation of our planet looks pretty dire and automobiles and their assorted aftermarket parts and accessories certainly seem to be a great contributor to the damage being done. Although this blog was originally intended to focus on tints and cheap car modifications exclusively we felt that we just couldn't make that our exclusive focus because to do so would be environmentally irresponsible. Besides, there are plenty of other blogs out there concerned solely with products and that have no concern for environmental ethics or the future of humanity on our planet.

Despite the fact that the focus of the blog has changed somewhat we will still be discussing car accessories and new automotive technologies that help to create a more sustainable society. I hope to post frequently throughout the coming months and that our efforts will be appreciated. Take care!
