CARDINAL HONDA ANNOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF THE 2011 HONDA CR-Z

ALL NEW 2011
HONDA CR-Z SPORT HYBRID COUPE
TO START AT $19,200

 On-sale date set for August 24
The all-new 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid coupe is set to debut at dealers on August 24,2010, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) starting $19,200, plus a destination and handling charge (1) of $750, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.

Developed as a stylish, driver focused vehicle with an emphasis on efficient performance, the all-new 2011 Honda CR-Z introduces a sleek two-passenger coupe design with quick, sporty handling to the gasoline-electric hybrid segment. A 1.5 liter VTEC 4-cylinder engine works with Honda's unique, compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system to supply both power and efficiency to the CR-Z.  A sport-focused, six-speed manual transmission is a first for any mass-produced hybrid.  An automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is available and includes steering-mounted paddle shifters for the manual-like gear-ratio control.

A new, exclusive 3-mode drive system allows the driver to configure the vehicle's responsiveness for Sport, Normal, or Econ (Economy) driving modes.  Driver efficiency tools include Eco Assist and Eco Scoring, which together can help drivers find improvements to efficient driving styles, while also comparing economy achievements to previous trips as well as the life of the vehicle.

The CR-Z is available in two equipment grades --- the well equipped CR-Z (base) and the feature-rich CR-Z EX. Standard features on the CR-Z include an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with six speakers, automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, remote entry, cruise control, and more.

The CR-Z EX adds a 360-watt AM/FM/CD high-power audio system with seven system speakers --- including a subwoofer --- Bluetooth Hands-Free Link, leather-wrapped steering wheel and more.  The CR-Z EX is available with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition (2).

The CR-Z demonstrates the Honda commitment to safety in the vehicle's design and construction.  The Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure is designed to help protect vehicle occupants in a frontal collision.  Additional safety technologies include Vehicle Stability Assist (VSAA); standard dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags; standard front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); side-curtain airbags; active head restraints; an anti-lock braking system; a tire pressure monitoring system; and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle.
