There has been plenty of debate about the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cr-z">Honda CR-Z</a> around the Autoblog water cooler. Does <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/honda/">Honda's</a> sport-inspired mild hybrid have the style, power (122 horsepower), sales appeal and fuel economy numbers (36 miles per gallon city, 38 highway) to make it a legitimate <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/09/video-honda-execs-talk-up-historical-link-between-cr-z-and-crx/">successor to the CRX</a>? We'll have to drive the CR-Z to get the answer to most of our questions, and we'll have to wait for a few months after launch to see whether car buyers <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/12/honda-cr-z-enjoying-high-early-demand-in-home-market/">will welcome</a> the mild little hybrid with open arms (and wallets).<br />
<br />
One thing we do know for sure, though, is that the post-jump European Honda CR-Z promo has too much fog, too many lasers and way too many 1990s-style effects to be cool. That said, it beats the heck out of those bizarre-looking <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/20/video-the-answer-to-how-honda-will-market-the-crosstour-animat/">animated jazz videos</a> used to market the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/accord+crosstour">Accord Crosstour</a>. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/16/video-honda-cr-z-vid-gets-crazy-with-the-fog-machine/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to watch the video for yourself and to check out the official press release.<br />
