The latest pages from Honda's Japanese CR-Z brochure have leaked onto the web, this time showing the production model's interior for the first time.

The car's cabin looks pretty much like the concept car version that's already been seen however, so this leak won't go down as a major 'scoop'.

For those who've missed earlier instalments of the CR-Z saga, the new hybrid - deemed by some as a 'spiritual successor' to Honda's iconic CRX - will be revealed in the metal at the Detroit show next month and hit UK showrooms in early Summer priced around £18k.

The car (in Japanese spec at least) features a 113bhp 1.5-litre i-VTEC four, with an additional 13bhp IMA system, and a six-speed manual gearbox.

One of the amusing facts doing the rounds is that the car's facia will be illuminated in different colours according to whether 'Econ', 'Normal' or 'Sport' driving modes are selected. That sounds fun in theory, but first we need to discover whether the CR-Z really does 'Sport' when the Japanese brochure claims a 0-60mph time of nearly 10secs.

Perhaps there should be a 'snooze' mode, when all the lights are dimmed...
