Honda CR-Z as a fleet car
The Honda CR-Z has a combined economy of 56.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 117g/km which means in reality that it falls behind the Toyota Prius which manages 72.4mpg and 89g/km.

Having said that the CR-Z will appeal to the fashion conscious, it is a car for the iPad generation, so in terms of fleet it may be desirable to certain fleet drivers whose image may be important.

Hybrid Fit

Still, Honda needs a car that has the potential to change everything and they may have found that in the Fit. The Fit hybrid will share the same hybrid system used by the dedicated hybrid Insight which means the 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine/electric engine combination will get at least 40 miles to the gallon city, 43 miles to the gallon highway. Some reports have increased that number to 54 highway, but that seems unlikely.

Before you get excited about the Honda Fit Hybrid I must warn you: the car isn't slated to be sold in the U.S. and Canada, at least initially. Designed to compete in the European market and select markets around the world, Honda seems concerned that by offering the Fit, they'll cut into sales of the Insight and Civic Hybrid. Especially the Honda Insight given its look.
