Back in December, a number of photos from the official CR-Z brochure leaked in Japan, along with technical specification (earlier post). Now though, the all-new Honda CR-Z made its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
According to Tom Gardner, Head of Marketing, Honda (UK), "kart-like handling and direct steering will make it great fun to drive". I hope he is right...
