2011 Honda CR-Z



Honda says this slick machine evokes memories of the super-fun 1991 CR-X, and in some ways, it does. Unfortunately, it's also strangely reminiscent of a classic sneaker. The CR-Z is powered by a 122-horsepower 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, which produces 128 lb-ft of torque. Word is that the new CR-Z will return stellar fuel economy (36 mpg city/38 mpg highway), despite sporting Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system. Call us crazy, but we swear our 1991 CR-X got the same gas mileage.
