Yes, it would have to have a very very close resemblance to the original. I think what I like best about the 4G Civics and the 2G CRX's is there simplicity. It would also have to be affordable. The cannot go out and create and low powered S2000 priced car. Just my .02

Ya, that would be great.. An OBD2 ULEV CRX. :rolleyes:

You must not understand the beauty of owning a 12+ year old car.

i dunno.. it might be cool if they reintroduced it. as long as it doesn't follow the current fugly civic design.

I thought the photoshopped pic of the Insight that was the supposed "2005 CRX" looked pretty good. If they made it like that, but wider, beefier suspension, and a decent motor to back it up. I think I would be satisfied. But we know that wouldn't happen, there really hasn't been a good re-made car, and I doubt Honda would be any different.

i agree i do want it back, but they would definatly screw it up somehow, plus it would eat sales away from the new Si if it had a decent motor in it and all.

it would be cool if they made a new CRX but style it EXACTLY like the old 2g/4g ones, i love that body style, then they can just drop a B16 in from factory and make everyone happy lol
but if they did make a crx that had the same body style as the old 88 - 91's it would be awesome

riceriderjade
11-07-2003, 05:04 PM
yeah, i'd like to see them take the 88-91 body, update it a little, put on nice factory rims, good suspension, have it 2+2 seating instead of only 2, and what i really really wanna see, put a v6 similair to the precidias small v6.the front would have to be a bit longer, but damm

I wouldn't want them to bring it back. In most markets, your Del Sol was the 3rd gen CRX and they ruined by making it overweight and ugly.

The 2nd gen CRX was the prettiest of all the post '80 Hondas excluding the NSX. Unless they can do to the CRX what they did to the S800 and build a quality car that carries on the tradition then I'd rather see the rex become a legend in Honda's history.

If they bring it back it better be RWD & look nothing like the new Honda Focus(civic) Si

No I'm serious
Honda needs a cheap RWD car, think about how much better an old CRX would be if it were RWD.

SiZ

But what are the odds? Why on earth would Honda make a new CRX, let alone a RWD one? Sure, its seems like it would be more fun, but it just doesn't make sense. Honda doesn't make many RWD vehicles, why would they make an econobox RWD?

Imagine how shitty a RWD car with 100lbs-ft and 110hp would be.

BullShifter
11-08-2003, 10:20 PM
I'm talking new Si cheap, not a piece of shit econobox. Something with atleast 140hp for the base model & possibly using the new 200HP type-r engine or even de-tuned a S2K power plant.

I don't think I will ever own a FWD car again.

Yay, the 2005 Honda CRX (DFT) model. :eek7:

rear wheel drive. V6 turbo. yeah, a Honda CRX drift car. NOT :comprage1


I agree with the rest of you. Let it go, if your grandmother dies, you don't go out looking for another one.

The 2G CRX was one fo the best cars Honda ever put out. Don't try to bring it back, especially with the new body style, cause that's just lame.Plus, I like the fact that I don't see too many on the road anymore (at least not where I live). The fact that it's a rare occasion to see one in good condition is nice.

Anyway, just my opinion. :2cents:

honda do make make rwd vehicles, the s2k and the nsx because they want it to be a true sports car. still though rwd in a honda is out of the norm. as far as new crx, i've been waiting a long time for this, it wouldn't ruin the old beloved classic, but instead brings back the tradition and updated style. i believe they will only be place next to each other, instead of one over the other. what was dissopointing was when they stop making the crx for the del sol, which was suppose to be the next gen crx :disappoin .

All I can say is, Honda needs an entry level RWD car, doesn't have to be called the CRX. Who cares what its called, they just need a RWD period.

Look a BMW & Benz, when was the last time they made a FWD car? NEVER and probably never will. FWD can not have or never will have the handling a RWD car.

If Honda were to build a FWD and RWD version of any of their cars - which will handle better & have more potenial? RWD-bottom line!

Apples - Oranges

Look at the cost of BMWs! How can you even be comparing the two.
Honda Civics are econoboxes meant to get groceries, be cheap to buy, and give good gas milage.

Honda doesn't want to make cheap perfomance oriented cars. It wouldn't even make sense, I'm sure their FWD Civics sell well enough they have no reason to care about an entry level RWD car.

When did I compare a BMW to a Honda, Honda will never be what BMW's are & never will be. I was comparing RWD to FWD, not BMW to Honda :iceslolan

I give up with this thread!

they can do that with a RWD version - FWD sucks plain & simple at least in my opinion!

just because honda makes a fwd car doesn't always means its handling is inferior against rwd. the honda prelude sh was awarded the best handling vehicle under 30,000. it went against some tough opponents such as a fwd miata, a rwd corvette z28, and an awd eagle talon tsi. two other competitors were the bmw 318i and the ford contour. so just because it's fwd, doesn't automatically mean that it's crap. if given an option between rwd and fwd, i would also go with rwd, but what your stating is more of a biased opinion because of your preference.

heres the link, just go to prelude sh

As a matter of personal opinion, I dislike RWD very much.... I cannot wait to get rid of my Camaro once my Civic is back on the road.

In my opinion, good handling is all a matter of personal opinion... I like the 'way' my Civic handles in turns much better than the 'way' my camaro handles...
Where as you don't believe you'll ever own another FWD vehicle, I don't believe I'll ever own another RWD vehicle.... AWD perhaps, but not RWD.

Again, this is a matter of my own personal opinion.

Corvette Z28, huh?
FWD Miata?
I hope the Prelude SH w/ ATTS would handle better than a junk contour & 318i. the only reason is because it is electronically assisted.

It something called physics that give a FWD poor handling from the start - front wheels doing too much.

If FWD were so great, Ferrari, Lambos, Top Fuel drag cars, F1, etc. would ALL be FWD.

damn where is my mind at? :screwy: twice i messed up, whats going on? it's the rwd camaro z28, and the rwd mazda miata to correct my mistakes. no offense but your excuse for it to have atts is pretty lame, either way u look at it, the prelude is still a fwd vehicle plain and simple. kind of reminds me of the excuse guys with domestics gives when a honda kicks thier butt, "thats not fair, that piece of crap civic is lighter than my mustang." most will probably agree with me on this statement, a win is a win, and a fwd is a fwd, no if's, and's, or but's. also just fyi, i do like some domestics and some imports, so i consider my opinions and facts to be unbiased. hopefully this time everything is correct. :icon16:

I think if Honda did re-introduce the CRZ it would be bad ass. I'm sure they could come up with some killer new design but with the same basic design. But, if they did, you would see a million of them on the road.

i say, if they are aiming to stay true to what the crx is, a sports car, yes. on the other hand if they, those at honda, arent going to put as much thought into it then no. it has to be an honest effort to not mess up one of the best cars ever produced. i saw a picture of a crx concept car for 2005 and i must say that it looked dangerously awesome. i saw it and almost needed a new pair of pants.

12-02-2003, 07:05 PM
and for the fwd vs. rwd argument. of course rwd by theory would be physically better for handling but you have to realize that many things can be proven a million times on paper but cause people to have flashbacks of hiroshima in real life. boom. and dont worry about lambos never having fwd cause you will probably never get a chance to drive one anyway...

12-02-2003, 07:33 PM
Yeah, even compared to the Del Slo the CRX is a much purer car, more of a drivers car, I love it. A new CRX wouldn't be like this sadly.

Siz I have to call you out on this one. Hondas are meant to carry around japanese people to work and back. Since everything in the country is smaller and more compact (including the ppl) then the cars are smaller. Most are designed for them and adapted for us.

honda crxes are ugly. my cuz had one and i set it on fire cause it was a waste of the 800 he paid for it with that 4 cyclinder thing they call a motor in it. hopefully honda and acura go out of business and let those cars all crash in to walls cause they are a waste of the AMERICAN scrap that we send over every day. just think your honda is made from some junky's old thrown away home. such a waste of money from those stupid rice rockets or whutever you call them. as for the crx leave that old jolopy were it is " in the junkyards of america."

There are more hondas still on the road.

In the junkyard? I've only ever run two probes, beat em both, what a joke. I guess you call ours rice rockets as yours is a domestic brick. The probe was marketed as being this great car due to being designed by a woman, thats its claim to fame? The gender of the designer? Wow.... thats uhm, great...

oh well, atleast with our cars, it doesnt sound like its some kinda anal thing, i mean... probe... come on, i'm sure ppl can think of some jokes about that really easily hehe :D

and actually, the j/ys up here have more fords then hondas, and most hondas have been ruined like by getting slammed into a such, most fords have a fine body (except the rust) so it musta been then engine that let go, ah well, have fun with ur probe, i'll stick with my honda :)
