Check out this hybrid with attitude.

TOKYO — Cars don't have to sacrifice looks to be environmentally friendly — they can be muscular and stylish, too, according to USA Today citing an Associated Press story.

That's the message Honda hopes to send at this month's Tokyo auto show with its new gas-electric hybrid sports car CR-Z.

"This is something rivals can't offer," Tetsuji Morikawa, a Honda Motor engineer, said of the CR-Z, whose sales date is promised for the "near future."
