TOKYO — The Honda CR-Z will go into production in a further expansion of Honda's hybrid lineup. The Japanese automaker confirmed on Wednesday at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show that a production version of the CR-Z Concept coupe will debut in North America in the second half of 2010. It said the production CR-Z "will be packaged as a sporty two-seat hybrid that provides a personal driving experience for North American consumers."

The production version of the Honda CR-Z will make its world debut at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, Honda said.

"The Honda CR-Z will expand our lineup of hybrid vehicles and reinforce the fun-to-drive values associated with the Honda brand," said Erik Berkman, American Honda Motor vice president of automobile corporate planning and logistics.
