If you'd like to experience a car-based mini epic from the comfort of your desk, or the chair you're sitting on watching daytime TV while needlessly surfing the internet on your laptop, look no further.
Honda has made a video about the CR-Z. Granted, it's not as good as watching someone smashing their tropical fish tank while performing some gun-enhancing dumbbell lifts in front of a camera phone, then crying "mom!" as the poor fish spill out. No. It does have a combination of inspirational ambient music and rock, though, and an interview with CR-Z project leader Norio Tomobe.
In fact, and we feel obligated to bring this up, the video references benchmarking against the
MINI,
VW Scirocco and
Lotus Elise, and particularly the latter. It's a hybrid Honda, remember. Wow.
Anyway, just watch it.
