Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

I'm curious: why do so many people think that CRX's are ugly? Granted, the look is a bit dated and it's certainly different from other cars of its time, but I think the unique look is part of the attraction to the car. Everyone I talk to thinks it looks like a pile of shit. Most people probably buy CRX's becuase of 1) Lack of funds for a newer car, or 2) Its potential for performance. I know this is a bit of weird thread, but what do you guys think? Cult classic? Shit on wheels? Fast but ugly?

I think I wish I could find a CRX around here. I've been looking for a 90-91 in in good condition in the area for nearly a year.

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

i had 2. really dont car for the way the back looks.
i think with a nice body kit and wing they can look very good. but i had them because they are very light and can be made very fast.
now im more of the hatch type now.

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

I dont kno why people dont like them. I like them because there almost like if you like hondas its something you got to have owner.

I guess because the model was only made for a small amount of time people try to get there hands on them, but most people prolly dont like them because the design is older and hatchback type cars arent really something people favor I guess.

I dont know but CRXs' ROCK!!!!

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

i dunno i luv the way the crx looks. also the potential to be fast as well as handle outstandingly. i personaly have owned and built several crx's and have found them along with other 4g's to be easily built, and IMO obd0 rocks! IMO its gonna be a classic

I agree. I don't know why, though. The general populous has no automotive taste!

I have a 91 Hatch. And I love it. The only thing I dont like is that it sorta resembles a shoe, and all those damn windows. When my car is running good, I would take a hatch over a crx. But as soon as it messes up, i love crxs. I know it doesnt have anything to do with which model, but somehow it affects which body i like more.

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

i have never, ever heard anyone say crx's are ugly, i've heard slow, rust buckets, tin cans, girl cars ect.

no one has ever said a mint condition crx doesn't look nice to me.
the look is timeless. like a 442 or a mustang cobra, they will always stick out to me as the 'classic' honda. civic renissance- model X

I always thought they were cool looking hatch back cars. Its got a fastback design..its round for the era..its my fav fwd car for its style,light weight, awesome handling, gas mileage. Ive heard girly car..import crap..but the only dude that had nuts to call it ugly had a 72 cougar...fricken grill like a peterbuilt..fugly ass car and dude called my car ugly.lmao

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

i thought i liked my hatch more than crx's but when i got one i love the rex more than my hatch now, personally i think they look the best slammed on some 5 star gsr's

there was a member here i forget his name but he had a silver one dropped on the 5 stars and it looked so good it doesent even need a kit the flush mount wing looks good also
