2005 HONDA CRX
Dec 18, 2003 | By: Matyas Varga - SRO

The bottom line is that honda intended to replace the CRX with the Si model. However, people seem to have developed a great deal of nostalgia for the old fast back. Whether or not the CRX is truly making it's return remains a mystery. None the less, we all hope Honda has taken note of all the hype.


The following quotes were taken from: Motor Magazine, January 2002

"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 coupi), 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 coupi 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."

well i thought i found something new....oh well...i just seen the date, so i thought it was just released

bbor-imported

I spoke with someone from Honda Canada head office not too long ago, and he told me there is a 70% chance of it being made again for the 2007 model year.
Makes sense because there will be no more S2000 or Civic SIR.

Hope it is true.

I was hoping they were just gonna build it outta the honda insight, that a nicely styled car and is very remeniscent of the original crx, the rear wheel well covers would have to go though!
