Honda Has 10x More Orders for CR-Z Hybrids Than Expected

But the Fuel Economy of the CR-Z is Still Disappointing

The people at Honda now have another reason to celebrate. The first one was Toyota's problems, which drove a lot of car buyers into the open arms of its smaller rival, and the second reason has to do with the numbers of orders for the new CR-Z hybrid in Japan; after a month, orders exceeded 10,000, or about 10x more than the monthly target of 1,000. In just a month it has almost reached its yearly domestic goal of 12,000 units.
