Honda's Global Small Hybrid Breaks Cover!

cool.. I wonder if Canada will follow suit. We don't even have side airbags on the Yaris hatch (opt. on Yaris sedan, standard on the Fit and Versa)

And front and rear parking impacts will be absorbed by...???

bumpers? body structure? Just because it's small doesn't make it uncrashworthy.

Just saw this -- interesting design, what little there is to see on the link.

Should be interesting to see how it comes to performance promises -- I like our Prius and don't miss too much the zippiness of the old car -- keeps my road rage in check.

the concept theme of the link is unmistakable (is that a word??, probably not... lets try undeniable?) wondering how much the real car would look like that. also to be honest with ya, after 19 pics, including one that shows nothing but a widescreen shot of what the logo might look like, i really dont have a good picture of what the car looks like....so will have to see. i have known a couple of the CRX's and they all were excellent commuter cars.

What do you mean?
Park by sight not by braile.

Its pretty standard for concept cars to ignore practical details like bumpers. It just confirms that this vehicle is still a design rev or two away from production.

Overall looks pretty promising. I think a lot of folks have been awaiting the return of the CRX.
