Honda "Something new is coming"
On Honda's website.
Honda Future Cars, Concepts and New Models - Official Honda Web Site
Any guesses, predictions or thoughs?
I say the Crosstour, which is an Accord based crossover like a Toyota Venza.

I like the CR-Z. Reminds me of the old CRX's with were awsome little cars, although it will probably weigh a million pounds like every other new car.
...and ENOUGH with the crossovers and SUV's already!!!!! DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THOSE ON THE ROAD ALREADY!!!!????? LOL

Apparently, that Accord look is just on the test cars and that the real thing has a different front end.
A crossover is the one vehicle that Honda doesnt have in their line up. They are very, very popular, so Honda is going where the money is. I have a buddy that is a Toyota salesmen and he has told me that they dont have enough Venza's for the demand.
Some people, like myself, see the practicality of a hatch, wagon, 4 door, and AWD vehicle, but without having to drive a big, heavy, poor handling, gas guzzling SUV.
CRZ production model is supposed to be shown sometime early next year. No K20 from what Ive read. It is supposed to be based on the Fit platfrom. If they can keep it simple and relatively light, under 2500lbs, which is what a loaded Fit weighs, the Civic 1.8 wil be enough.
I just hope they keep the hybrid technology that the concept car had optional.

How can you bring back the "Rex" and make it a hybrid??? What is Honda thinking, they already have a hybrid coming out next year.

Well, the original CRX was hardly a fast car. The Si hatch was quicker I think. I think maybe Honda might be looking at an affordable, fun to drive car.
The hybrid I cant really see happening. They already have the Insight and I dont think another hybrid is necessary. It would be heavy and expensive too.
Im still keeping my fingers crossed.

And you minus well uncross your fingers, at the last press release Honda said the CRZ was going to be a hybrid........I can't remember the numbers but they where a joke. And the car was heavy.

Maybe it's disinformation Honda is spreading. The CRZ will have a K20 and weigh 2200lbs.
