The Honda CR-Z concept looks very similar to the Skydeck concept and I am plagued with doubts if the two cars are the same. The CR-Z concept is apparently very near to production in February 2010. The car seems to take inspiration from Audi, which definitely isn’t a great thing as it lacks originality.

The interiors look like they are full of clutter and the box shape of the car is a cross between the Audi and the Asian designs, which I seem to particularly dislike. The 1.5 litre version of Honda’s IMA system (currently available as a 1.3 litre in the Civic Hybrid and Insight) is something to look forward to.

The CR-Z comes with a 6-speed manual transmission which isn’t a bad thing to have. I would still like to see Honda come up with a better model than this, for it does not exactly have anything outstanding. If only Honda realized that they are the best when it comes to stylish designs and that they do not need to copy, it would be great.
