Man, things are crazy in Tokyo today: During the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Honda dropped news that it will indeed produce two new hybrid cars. One will be a Prius-fighting family car, while the other will be based on the CR-Z concept we've been drooling over the past few days.
Honda will also bring a street-ready version of its FCX hydrogen fuel cell car to the L.A. Auto Show next month. Both hybrids will hit streets in 2009.
We were hoping to see them — especially the CR-Z — sooner than that.
Remember that wild-looking four-door coupe BMW unveiled at this year's Shanghai Motor Show? If you don't, there's a picture right here and a gallery here. Anyway, at the Tokyo Motor Show that's going on this week, BMW executives confirmed that the company will indeed build the sloping sedan.
How emphatically did they confirm production plans? "This vehicle is only a concept study, but we have already decided that we will definitely build a four-door Gran Turismo, modeled on this concept," said BMW board member Stefan Krause. |
