New CRX :)

[93cord]

Yes you are reading this correctly, 2007 CRX. For the last few years speculation on the return of this beloved car has been circulating on the web. The last we heard 6 months ago was that a "surprise car" would be released in fall 06 and it wasn't the new Si or Fit. When we heard nothing else since then we automatically assumed the information was false. Now AutoWeek has just announced that the CRX will make a return but not until the 2007 model year. Was our original information valid and the vehicle has just been pushed back? Who knows. If indeed the latest article from AutoWeek is accurate it appears that the CRX will be equipped with the 06 Si Coupe engine which would make it one heck of a "pocket rocket". The big question however is will the engine alone sell the car?

Design and drivetrain will probably be the focus for most people but we feel the way the car is packaged and priced will even be more important. Just take a look at the 02-05 Si for example. Granted there were 20-40 year olds able to afford a $20,000 Civic but what about the buyers on a budget that still wanted a quick car but didn't want or need the extra frills? What we're saying is make the CRX in more than just one trim level but equip them all with the same powertrain.

* Can you imagine the sales potential and appeal of an entry level, $15,000 or less CRX with nearly 200hp?
*
* Will Honda even make a CRX that you will be able to buy for under $20,000?




here are a few pics











Say what you whant but that's a really nice ride..

[Bongo]

the only good pic is the last one...the others look hideous IMO too bubbley and spacey looking. much like the majority of newer cars. but i'm sure it'd be pretty fast tho.

[93cord]

yeah .. with the motor of the new civic in that small car .. its gonna be FAST

[mcdizzle]

looks like the insight minus the rear wheel covers. to be honest, the last 2 pics are chops im pretty sure

[Bongo]

yea. now that i look at it more...the last pic of that blue one looks sick...but still the others just...don't do it for me lol.

i was gonna say the last 2 looks like honda insights...

[97Lude]

the last 2 ARE the honda insight. This has been posted a few times now.
Honda pretty much promised they won't bring back the CRX.

IMO the first pic looks sickk the rest suck cock

the first one i think all they did was take the new si put the rear wheel closer to the frount and shorten the back.

With the exception of the second, they're all chops and just what people want to believe the CRX would look like.

IMO the CRX has been dead too long for it to be resurrected. The auto landscape is a lot different now than it was in the mid-late 80's/early 90's.

Look at VW. In the 80's they had the Scirocco and the GTI. Now the Scirocco is dead and the GTI is going against the Civic Si. The CRX wouldn't have a target competition.
