In the market for a hybrid but looking for something with a sportier streak? Honda of Bowie has a solution for you. Enter: the Honda CR-Z. The model's 1.5-liter petrol engine works beautifully in tandem with a unique electric motor and has earned it a spot among the finalists for Wheels' Car of the Year award.

Not only has the coupe placed top on the list, but it was purposefully selected from the largest pool the competition has seen to date. Judges explain that each contender will be carefully considered against a tried and true set of criteria and the final winner will be revealed on January 18^th. Knowing what we do about the enjoyable and efficient coupe, Honda of Bowie has a good feeling about its chances to hit the top spot.

James Whitbourn, one of the Wheels judges, describes the CR-Z in the following way, "Combine the grin factor with the efficiency promised by the hybrid system and there's little doubt the Honda coupe takes the car where it should be going - smaller, lighter, more efficient and more fun."¹
