Honda News: Rumorpile: Next-Generation Honda CR-Z To Be Very Different

The Honda CR-Z hasn't set the sales chart on fire and it has been canned Europe and Australia. The reason is likely the disappointing hybrid powertrain which offers ho-hum performance and economy. But Honda is planning to change that with the next-generation CR-Z.

Car and Driver reports that the next-generation CR-Z - due out in 2017 - will trade in the Honda Fit platform for the Civic. Honda will slice four inches off the Civic platform for its duties in the CR-Z. Power will come from a detuned version from turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder found in the Civic Type-R.

The new CR-Z expected to go on sale in 2018.

So Performance will rule for the new CR-Z. Interesting, I see this as a failure as people have clearly said MPG and green is more important. I would think they would want to push to have the CR-Z the ultimate commuter car with a Hybrid Powertrain that hits 100mpg.
