The Honda CR-Z Hybrid is turning out to be the sleeper hit of 2010… and it hasn’t even gone on sale yet.
The perky, underpowered two-seater compact goes on sale later this year, and Honda had set rather modest sales goals of selling between 40,000 and 50,000 cars between Japan, North America, and Europe. But pre-orders for the car have already gone over 10,000 cars, 10x the number Honda believed it would sell. Is it too early to call the CR-Z the comeback kid?
