Our man in Japan recently titillated the sport-compact fan base with a brief drive impression and detailed product description of Honda’s tantalizingly styled two-seat Honda CR-Z gleaned at the launch of the Japan-spec car. The style, stance and two-seat hatchback packaging scream CRX, but the Fit/Insight chassis underpinnings and earth-hugger hybrid powertrain (albeit “souped […]
Li Nian has unveiled the Everus concept at Auto China 2010.

Europe’s got Essen, and Japan’s got the Tokyo Auto Salon. With the latter fast approaching, Honda has revealed what they’ve got up their sleeves for this […]
