In my post about the announced Honda CR-Z, I compared it to the 1989 Honda CR-X HF. Permit me a digression, with a comparison to the 2010 VW Golf TDI.
The Honda CR-Z, gasoline/electric hybrid:
- 7.6 litres/100 km city and 6.4 litres/100 km highway (31 mpg city/37 mpg highway).
- 122 bhp and 128 lb-ft torque.
The 2010 VW Golf TDI, diesel:
- 6.7 litres/100 km city and 4.7 litres/100 km highway (35 mpg city/50 mpg highway).
- 140 hp (SAE) and 236 lb-ft torque.
Batteries? We don’t need no stinking batteries!
Amen Brother. Save the Lithium for the mentally unstable!!!!!
