VR17 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 hey, they already did made a comeback in japan, the new crx is different i forget what it was called(not the insight)its still a prototype tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksaint Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 As much as I'd hate to say it, and as much as I like CRX's, Honda is being outsold by Toyota and other such companies because of one product: A popular SUV. The Element doesn't appeal to the baby boomers who are going through their midlife crisis or heading towards senior citizen discount at Denny's. The CRV is ho-hum. If Honda finds a place for the CRX in a future lineup, I'd have it directly compete against the new SVT Focus. Just my 2 cents. Every time I see an SUV on the road or parked, it's either soccer mom (Explorer, Blazer), baller blocker (Escalade, Navigator) or OJ Simpson (white Bronco). bleh God help us all.

VR17 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 FOUND IT took me a while but i got proof.... retyped from above pics While Honda thinks about reintroducing one of its most glorious models, we can't help but blurt out our full support, - this is a no-brainer, guys. The CRX was brilliant when Honda developed it almost 20 years ago, and the tearaway combination of light and potent hasn't lost its appeal. Honda is believed to be seriously considering developing a two-seat sports car with those qualities, using its new Global Small Platform. The car, which Honda insiders are already calling the CRX, could appear in late 2004 or early 2005. For the Japanese market, the CRX will exist in two forms: an entry-level model with a 1.0-litre DOHC VTEC triple producing appoximately 74 kW (the engine derived from the block used in Honda's Insight hybrid coupé), and a hardcore 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (also with VTEC) generating 110-115 kW. Not incredible, until you realise that the target weight for the four-cylinder coupé is said to cut under 800 kg. Put it this way - that's 200 kg less than the Mini and 175 kg lighter than an MR2. This gives the 1.6-litre variant a tidy 7.27 kg/kW ratio in the worst case. By comparison, a 225 kW VXII SS Commodore has a kilogram-to-kilowatt ratio of 7.52. So, if Honda builds it, the little CRX will stand-out quick. Transmissions proposed are a five-speed manual for the 1.0-litre three cylinder, and a six-speed manual for the 1.6-litre. Use of Honda's CVT is said to be under study, but is not yet an official part of the programme. The new two-seater is small, and information from Honda indicates a wheelbase in the 2250 to 2350 mm range, overall length of less than 3650 mm, width of 1690 mm and height below 1270 mm. This makes it a strictly a two-pew affair. im not really impressed, i knew that it would happen sooner or later,this would probaly be the 4gen crx..

BuddySol Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 As much as I'd hate to say it, and as much as I like CRX's, Honda is being outsold by Toyota and other such companies because of one product: A popular SUV.

Every time I see an SUV on the road or parked, it's either soccer mom (Explorer, Blazer), baller blocker (Escalade, Navigator) or OJ Simpson (white Bronco). bleh God help us all. The Element wasn't suppose to attract people above 30 anyways. It was directly aimed at the young college male market. And from the looks of it, Honda has hit the nail on the head. The best selling CR-V and the recently introduced Pilot should cover the SUV market pretty well in the coming future. What Honda needs now are trucks... Yes, and Honda needs to wake up and see what has happened to it's hold on the Sports Compact market. They know they hold a big share of the market, they produced that commercial "Represent" with all those modded Civics cruising through town. Yet, they kill off the Prelude. Bring over a mid-pack Si and RSX. Arrgh, it's frustrating to see SE-Rs beating RSXs and Focuses stomping on Si's...BAH! So hopefully, if Honda plans on bringing anything over here to compete in this market, they will not water it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompactRacerX Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Thanks vTrAcEr17 for the article, and the information. That is really cool to me that they may be bringing the CRX back to the market. I don't CARE what people say, I like the CRX. I do have to admit that that body style is a little whacked, but all these cars are starting to look whacked now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optional187 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 i never really have liked the crx, and i don't think that this new one is going to appeal to me either. so to me it doesn't really matter if they bring it back or not. i say keep the prelude in production before you bring back the crx but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I think he's talking about the Insight. Which is not the 4th gen. CRX...looks like one, but is not considered one by Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd_biggy Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Ok, so it looks like it's just me that kinda likes the looks of the "new CRX"... that's okay. Granted, sounds like they are seriously jacking w/ the engine, which was the only respectable thing about it to begin w/ besides its weight, but the looks are kinda cool. A little too much like the new tiburon though, only shortened up. Gotta agree though, the del sol needs a revival. I can't be the only one who likes the new looks, right?

VR17 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 ........ :glare: ok il say it again from the 1st post, this comes optional 3cyl (for milage, not speed) and also optional the CRX 4 cyl (B16A) which they mentioned that it is faster then the stock Honda Integra Type-R..

EGRacer Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 yea thats funny that it is faster than a teg type r but still. i mean come on. hell i would jsut not waste the money on buying the peppy one and buy the 3 cyl pos and put a h22a or b18c5 with a greddy or hks turbo kit on it. also maybe even an :bow: apexi :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
