A PEV or partial (hi -
bred) electric
vehicle, the CR - Z bares little resemblance to it's heavy - slow 2 door, PEV predecessor or even current cousins, Toyota's sedate Prius PEV sedan or nissan's All Electric, plug in Leaf... or huge, by comparison, Chevy Volt (a fine 4 door,
family sedan that features long range OR plug in re-charged electric technology but at prices close to double the CR - Z's
of $ 22k).
