Way Cool Green Concept Vehicles - Photo Gallery

Shifting to smaller and lighter vehicles is about the quickest and easiest way to reduce the environmental impact of our cars. But compact cars never have been big sellers in the United States. Honda tries to reverse the trend with the Honda CR-Z concept, first introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. Light, sporty and futuristic are the keywords. The use of glass on the roof and hatchback carry the theme of air, light and spaciousness—as does the use of mesh materials in the interior. The company recently announced that the CR-Z hybrid will move into production, with a release in the next couple of years.
