Filed under: Coupe , Budget , Hybrid , Hatchback , Honda 2011 Honda CR-Z - Click above for high-res image gallery Norio Tomobe, chief engineer of the Honda CR-Z , said “The CR-Z is supposed to be an intelligent sports car.” We can spend a fair bit of time debating the ‘intelligence’ of a sports coupe that gets from 0-to-60 in 9.7 seconds and has just two seats but gets worse gas mileage than a Toyota Prius . However, we won’t really be able to decide on the issue until we drive it, and that is apparently what it takes to feel the love for it. According to Automotive News , back when the CR-Z was being designed to house a traditional gasoline-only drivetrain, Tomobe said he and his team dug deep to come up with a new idea for the car, which ended up being a hybrid drivetrain and a six-speed transmission.

Filed under: Government/Legal , GM When U.S. domestic automakers were commuting back and forth between Detroit and Washington while begging for government funds in the fall of 2008, a big deal was made of the fact that their CEOs were traveling in private jets instead of driving company vehicles. The backlash from JetGate was substantial, as each automaker quickly ended the use of expensive airfare for corporate travel and signed on with less pricey charter services.

Filed under: Recalls , Safety , Toyota Late last month we wrote a lengthy post about problems with an ABC News report that purported to show a Toyota Avalon racing out of control without setting a diagnostic fault code. While we primarily focused on the technical side and analyzed whether the problem was realistic, the crew at Gawker took a hard look at the video in question and noticed something fishy
