TEST DRIVE: Inhabitat Zips Around Town in the Manual Transmission Honda CRZ Sport Hybrid

Inhabitat recently had the opportunity to borrow the new Honda CRZ Hybrid with manual transmission to test how this sporty configuration works with a hybrid propulsion system. Boy, does it. We zipped around town doing errands, avoiding traffic, and breaking stereotypes about hybrids being underpowered. The 2012 Honda CRZ Hybrid is anything but underpowered. For just under $20,000 starting price you get two front seats, cargo space in back, and three modes to choose from: ECON, Normal, and Sport.
