2006 crx ?? real possibilty
May 14th Autroexpress magazine :http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/
Civic CRX Set To Storm Back
"There's nothing civilised about the new Civic. With the emphasis firmly on making its family hatchback more sporty than ever, Honda has radical plans for the next-generation car - and they include bringing back the CRX badge.
The mag's exclusive spy picture reveals what the all-new model will look like, and shows another interpretation of the Civic shape that has evolved over the past 30 years. The front end will be more rakish, while the current version's MPV-like styling will be smoothed out into a more conventional hatchback form.
While both three and five-door variants are expected to be available from launch - set for 2006 - Honda is also said to be planning a high-performance flagship coupé. That would wear the CRX badge last used in 1997. All versions are certain to get Type R models, with power outputs in excess of 200bhp. Also expect less extreme cars with plenty of visual impact, but without the high running costs of a hot hatch.
However, there will be more to the new Civic than just driving thrills. Honda knows that a large proportion of buyers still place practicality as their top priority, so the five-door is likely to be one of the most versatile family cars on the market. Adapting design ideas from the Jazz, it is expected to get impressive interior space and rear seats that fold away to leave a completely flat load floor. "Chris Thorp

mac strut or double wishbone?
how much does it weigh?

Looks nothing like the European Jazz....it has 4 seats and 4 doors ! Defenitly not built to perform...
This new crx will look lower, and have a lower roof top, and a very short wheel base, making it a good performer, and most of all fun to drive !
Dont criticize it already guys...it is still being developed and such.
I love teh look of it from that small pic..

Perhaps a 5 door and 3 door from the Civic family.
I would put "CRX" right up there with "type r" for brand recognition.
What a great way to prop up sales..
Does this mean curtains for the hatch?
Or is that the 2006 hatch?

until it drops at an international autoshow I'm not gonna believe...and hopefully if they do bring it back they make it good and properly outfit it with recaro seats and a proper suspension and a motor to go with it, not a puny 1.3 or somethin stoopid

Hmm...a new CRX... That would be somethign to dream of...
I don't believe it though. I do hope it comes true though would make buying a new car a LOT easier, I wouldn't have to pick b/w dif cars.

I hope the CRX never comes back, it would never do justice to either the 1g or 2g
