welll.. close to production. but seeing Honda's recent track record with Civic and the Accord, this is pretty much how the new CR-Z will look.

The rims, lights and diffusers are gone for the final, my bet's down right now. However, the rest looks like it's here to stay. Concerning the Hybrid thing, I have a bad feeling 'sporty hybrid' will always be an oxymoron.

Well, the idea of low end torque from the electrical engine coupled to a high revving Honda IC engine (S2000?) sounds like music to my ears. So as long as they don't downsize the IC too much (like they do in the Prius), I'll be fine by it being a hybrid.

That grille belongs on a Ridgeline, not a sportscar. Other than that, it looks pretty nice.

looks great! I think the dashboard is a bit too busy and the front overhang is a bit too long...

Not wild about the back, but I like everything else. A first from Honda (Besides their bikes of course).

Yeah, really, not a single bad thing I can say about it.
Too bad the thread title is so misleading.

Why is it so misleading? All the car sites are calling this the production version.

what do you mean what the hell am i talking about. Minor details will change of course. I'm thinking the blue door highlights, headlights, wheels, rear bumper, etc.. etc.. but basically this is what the production version will look like.

I wouldn't expect the blue highlights in the headlights to change. If you look at the production insight, it kept the headlight detail. Im thinking that it might be a signature piece of Honda's hybrids.
