Comparing cars have always been a calling card for the auto industry. If you're in the market to purchase a car, it's always a good idea to do your homework on the cars on your wishlist just so you have a better understanding of what you're getting yourself into and the merits and demerits of each option you may have.

Over in Europe, the eco-friendly sports car market is getting a nice boost, courtesy of two models that figure to go head-to-head with each other in the coming years: the Honda CR-Z->ke3082 Hybrid and the Peugeot RCZ->ke3470 sports coupe.

As both a hybrid and a frugal 2.0-liter diesel - both the CR-Z and the RCZ - are two vehicles that promote the same thing (fuel-efficiency) yet does so in completely different approaches. The ever-informative kids of AutoExpress took both cars through the ringer to see which one holds the leg up over the other. After a series of tests, the verdict remains unsettled because both cars hold a distinct advantage over the other in different respects.

Watch the video and find out how the CR-Z and the RCZ match up.
