Fresh Blood: Honda's hybrids are spreading like CRaZy

Auto Industry Examiner
It looks as if Honda will be pushing deeper into small-hybrid territory with two new models, the CR-Z and the Fit Hybrid, bringing the number of small, cutesy, Honda hybrids to four.
According to Honda’s official
press release, the CR-Z - a modern take on the CR-X hatch from waaaay back - will begin sales in the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) come February. Further down the line, Honda wants to roll out a hybrid version of its jazzy little Fit hatchback.
Since the bi-annual Tokyo Motor Show is coming up in October, and a ton of international manufacturers have backed out, expect one huge helping of Japanese concepts, releases, and announcements (along with a production version of the sports-coupe-Insight CR-Z).

Day late day earlier Is this a race? Anyway,. Great stuff. Future looks brighter. Thx for the news
Unfortunately, Honda continues to build mild hybrids and is hanging it's hat on the future of hydrogen--which doesn't appear it will become cost effective anytime soon.
