Going where no other hybrid has gone before.
A hybrid and the curvy mountain roads of Mulholland for a first encounter and chance to drive the new 2011 Honda CR-Z seemed unnatural. You see, hybrids have been known to be strictly ultra-efficient econo-boxes. Don't get me wrong-current on-the-market hybrids are great cars that have fabulous functionality, but most will not put a smile on your face when looking for a fun, sportive drive down the road, especially a stretch of pavement that twists and turns around the Santa Monica Mountains of California.
