Our ever-vigilant long-lens warriors have managed to snag a passel of photos of the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/cr-z">Honda CR-Z</a> fighter from <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai/">Hyundai</a>. The little hatch has shed a portion of the camouflage we've seen in previous spy photos, giving us a clear look at some of the three-door's (<a href="http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/04/2012-hyundai-veloster-to-get-rear-access-door.html">or is that four-door's?</a>) sheetmetal. Near as we can tell, the compact has kept the reverse-sloping roof of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/08/report-hyundai-veloster-to-debut-at-paris-motor-show/">concept car</a>, and while that's bound make rear headroom a hot commodity, it also gives the Veloster a tie-in with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/soul">Kia Soul</a> - its corporate cousin once removed. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, we didn't get an updated look at the car's interior, but it would surprise us to see anything changed from the last time our spy photographers got <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/26/spy-shots-2012-hyundai-veloster-sneaks-out-shows-off-interior/">up close and personal</a> with the newest Hyundai on the Veloster - and there's still some mystery about what kind of door mechanism is fitted on the passenger side.<br />
<br />
With news that the Korean automaker has pledged to spank the CR-Z hybrid in the fuel economy game without shouldering the added cost, weight and complexity of a hybrid system, we can't wait to get our grubby little journo hands on the Veloster. Word on the web is that the car will be powered by an efficient 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine churning out around 140-160 horsepower.<br />
