the acceleration of most hybrid cars is not exhilarating. That is, they tend to accelerate at a slower speed when compared to the conventional gas-powered cars. To put in simple words, you would not be able to achieve the anticipated speed within the same time period in a hybrid car, than you would in cars that are powered only by gasoline. actualité sécurité

The main shortcoming of a hybrid car that prevents it from gaining popularity with the masses is its high cost. It has also been estimated that the price of hybrid cars will increase over the years, inviting more troubles for the buyers. press release submission

Does anyone know how much smaller and/or lighter the new Li ion battery pack is compared to the old NiMH pack?

I should also say the CR-Z is getting closer to a modern CRX, although it has a MUCH stronger and safer chassis, more safety devices, and would be MUCH safer in any sort of accident.

too little too late for the CRZ….it was a great concept vehicle that Honda watered down so much nobody wants it. Weak effort overall…if it got 50mpg OR made 200hp, it would have been a hit.

I like the improvements in the CR-Z. It's a step getting closer to being a hardtop Miata, which is an EXCELLENT sports car and perennial Car & Driver "10 Best" winner, but gets only 21/28 mpg. At 47 mpg, the CR-Z is way ahead of the Miata. With S+ setting and more bhp and torque, the CR-Z should now nibble at the edges of the Miata's huge market share. The new CR-Z should be a winner.

Have no interest in fuel cell vehicles -- want pure electricity as source, not petroleum or hydrogen (plus all the costs attendant w/building "hydrogen highway").

Ok, you talk about HP, In 1973 I had a Saab Sonet 63HP in a V4. That was a ball to drive. You don’t need 135HP to have fun.

I guess the special booster button replaces having nitrogen tanks in the car....

People will not buy a 2-seater car in big #. CR-Z sells @ around 400 units/month in USA and even less in Japan. I dont know why they continue to invest in this car.

Instead they can apply Lithium battery in Insight and improve it to compete with Prius.

So with 2 & 3 motor systems, will it be a Full Hybrid. We still don't know whether Honda is continuing to work with IMA (Partial Hybrid) when other companies have moved to Full Hybrids.

Let's see how the new C-Max is selling which is lot more voluminous and has latest Lithium battery.

Honda went in the right direction raising the motor power from 10 to 15 kw, but it still too small. Note the Prius PHV MG2 is rated at 60 kw.
