Honda’s first sport hybrid goes on sale August 10th

With a stylish exterior and sophisticated interior, the all-new, two-passenger hybrid coupe with an available 6-speed manual transmission is like no other sports car on the road. And you can be one of the first to own this piece of history!

Powered by a 1.5 i-VTEC inline 4 engine with Integrated Motor Assist (IMA), the CR-Z delivers a combined peak output of 122 hp at 6000 rpm and 128 lb-ft at 1000 to 1500 rpm. Want to see it in action? See Above.

Nice find Subotai! Too bad it doesn't appear in more locations before its release here.

Anyone else find it strange that Canada is getting it sooner than the US? Might US release get pushed ahead?

When I showed up at Parkway Honda dealership in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday,.... driving the new 2011 Honda CRZ EX,.... the staff were under the impression they would start getting the CRZ in late August or early September. And they haven't been scheduled for training on the CRZ yet,.... they were asking me when Honda Canada would do that????

I own Civic of 2008 of release with 6-speed manual transmission, not Si (140 h.p. only) and I'm not sure that's looks like the sports car . IMHO. I just have more problems with this tranny (or clutch , i don't know for sure) Is it the issues with manual tranny or my head brain is sick? - 8th Generation Honda Civic Forum

Well, it's August 10th but still no CR-Z in Montreal, Quebec. However, I already booked a test drive for Thursday.
Maybe Ontario received them today?

I saw two on a Honda storage lot in Scarborough Ontario. I don't know which dealership it belongs to but its got hundreds of new hondas stored there year round. I assume its shared between dealers in that area.

still nothing from my buddy at honda. seems awfully strange that they have an official release date of august 10 but nothing has been seen yet.
