hey, im new (and im a girl!) . i just bought a 92 VTEC targa top crx, its hot. theres this guy i sort of know, and he's been heard saying something like "series 2s are much better thab series 3s" he has an older crx, not sure what year, the little boxy type one.

so, what im asking is, how are they classed, and how right is this guy, if he's even right at all? thanks guys!

well i hate to tell u but they didnt make crx's in 92!!!!!! they stoped in 91!!!! that was a type-o on your part or u have a del sol?????

 

my bf says it is a del sol, the hard-top targa style?

 

oh its an australian model by the way, it does say april 1992 under the hood...

Where she is from the 92+ crx looks like our del sol..
Series 2 is the 88-91 crx
Series 3 is the 92-?? crx..(del sol to us)

 

First Generation: 1G: 84-87
Second Generation: 2G: 88-91

Now, from what I understand, some CRX's in foreign (to the US) countries were produced later and could classify to be a 92, but in reality we would put them in the same category as the 91's. Anything later than that is a Del-Sol as mentioned above.

 

Heh, this might be not right place to call 2g crx a boxy.

Its a car with beautiful shapes...

I noticed that to..
Her and her boyfriend both prolly dont know what's goin on..
Maybe she can take pics..?

 

but she did say it has a targa top, and del sol haves those and crx's dont

 

yeah i've seen and read articles where the pic was the Del Sol, but on the back and what they knew it as was a CRX. BUT there is a few countrys with a true 92 CRX, but its the exact same as the 91 model

 

Ok, you guys need to know your crx history a little better.

The U.S. is the only place with 2 generations of CRX. Everywhere else has a 3rd gen. It's not a Civic Del Sol like it is here but a CRX Del Sol. If you're talking to someone from Europe, Asia, Australia, or even Africa and they say they have a 96 or 97 CRX, they aren't stupid.

 

anyways the first year of the Del Sol was 93

 

and if you want to get technical the Japanese 88-91 CRX was a 3rd gen

edit: and yes the BOXY crx is better then the DEL SOL

how do you figure?

 

80-82 honda made the Ballade, then in 83-87 honda made the Ballade Sports CR-X, then they made the 88-91 CR-X

 

Ballade eh... pics?

And yes it MUST be a Del Sol so stop trying to hurt yourselves thinkin about it so hard.

 

look at this honda time line

so how do you see 88-91 being a mk3 crx...i still only see it as a 2nd even with that timeline...

 

thanks guys, im totally confused though! i know for sure it says under the hood april 1992. it is an aussie model. im pretty sure that this is exactly what it looks like, but i cant be sure, i wil post my car up this afternoon.

In america that car you pictured is titled "del sol" where as you guys call it a CRX.

In america we only have 2 generations of crx's 1g 84-87 and 2g 88-91

I would assume that austrailians would refer to your car cars as a 3g crx

if you look at the timeline that you posted it shows the first crx being offered in 83-87! gen1 then gen 2 87-91 then gen 3 92-+
