Yep just saw this news as well, I hope we will see some more info released on the CRZ soon given it will be on sale in 6 months.

  I am overjoyed at this news. Cant wait for them to launch it. I'm glad they released this news. I was going to post this but realized you guys had already done it

It's official guys! Got an email from American Honda. I can't believe it's gonna be less than a year away. That is, if February is indeed the release time.  

The CR-Z Hybrid: First Concept, Now Reality
---------------------------------------------------------------

We wanted you to be one of the first to hear: The highly
anticipated Honda CR-Z hybrid concept will go into production
and will be on sale in 2010. Shorthand for "Compact Renaissance
Zero," the CR-Z is the answer to many people's desire for
sporty, efficient and environmentally conscious transportation.
It's all part of Honda's commitment to help effect positive
environmental change.

I got the e-mail as well and fervently hope that just like they had an Si trim for the CRX, they will also launch the CR-Z in Si trim

Well Feb is the release month for the Japanese market and shortly after words the EU market.  The only official word I have seen is a 2010 release for the US but not when yet.  I am sure we will get plenty of info once Honda shows the production version and we should start to see more info between now and Oct.

Look out for a crz test car on the streets.

Any time now.

Since it looks unique I'm sure we'll get a fair idea of all the features that make it to production from the concept. The Insight and pretty much every Honda vehicle has been very close to the concept, therefore it'll be cool to see the car out on the streets undergoing testing. I hope they have a few mules running state-side as well.

I agree,  i would really like to see them keep the general style of the headlights, glass roof and center tail pipes..  among other things..  The side mirrors would have to change a bit, as well as the splitters on the front due to pedestrian impact protection.

I was thinking for sure someone would have spotted a test car by now but so far not a sign of one.  I do hope that Honda keeps it very close to the concept, I will be seriously bummed if they change it a lot.  I wonder where they are testing this thing at.
