As the Tokyo Motor Show gets up to speed, Honda today confirmed what most people in the industry have suspected for some time: The FCX fuel-cell-powered sedan is headed for production. The company expects to reveal the showroom-ready version (the concept is pictured here) during next month’s Los Angeles Auto Show.
Also, to the nay-sayers who doubted Honda’s two-seat CR-Z concept (above right) would ever see the light of day, take note: The company took the opportunity to announce that it would indeed build a car based on the CR-Z, set for a debut during 2009. Just how closely can the production version resemble the slightly pie-in-the-sky show car? Well, remember Honda’s 1995 SSM roadster, which just a few years later begat an undeniably similar production version, the S2000. It seems clear enough from the basic shape and design details that, like the SSM, a good degree of showroom-focused thinking went into the creation of the CR-Z.
