Japan Report: Honda Announces Plans for Prius Fighter
It was at Honda’s year-end press conference that the ground rules for the coming hybrid war with Toyota were laid down. Honda’s worst kept secret is that it will roll out its own version of the Prius in 2009, coupled with the hybrid-powered CR-Z sports coupe.
This so-called “Honda Prius” will be previewed this year – maybe at the Paris or L.A. Auto Show – and a source who has seen the car says it looks uncannily like the Prius.
The CR-Z will appear as a toned down version of the 2007 Tokyo show car. But in terms of battery supply, Honda will continue buying from Sanyo Electric and Matsushita Electric Industrial, Honda president Takeo Fukui told reporters.
