has anybody heard anything about this??

 

No, but Honda is VERY disturbed by the fact that it is now perceived as a SUV and Polumorphic manufacturer. Who ? Honda, which created the VTEC system, and has been in F1 since, like, for ever
Seems like the S2200 didnt create as much buzz as Honda would want, so maybe it is time they started thinking about bringing back the car that started it all: the CRX

 

If they make a 05 rex thats better looking and better performance wise i would sell my car and buy one instantly. The only thing i dont like about my rex is that its gettings really old.

 

looks like they are giving it some RSX type lights

The word I have heard is that they are considering bringing over the Honda Fit, in some americanized version. No direct confirmation on that, but thats what we hear, here in Detroit, inside the industry..

Commercially, they have always seemed rather reluctant to produce any real sports cars for the US..seems more interest/reseources are being put towards the development of their US market truck..

 

Just modify the Insight to look like a real car instead of a futuristic one, and you've got your new CRX right there.

If you've seen that photoshop of an Insight with 19" rims, then you'll know how sweet it could look

 

Hopefully if they do make it, it has some type of peformance, unlike the insight.

 

OK, first of all the "800Kg weight" thing is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy fishy. I mean, even the very first CRX didnt weight less than 850Kg, and that was before the whole "safety/gazillion airbags" madness. The DelSol weighed in at a hefty 1200Kg (with all the gadgets added). And if you take into consideration the dimensions mentioned in this article, I dont think even 1000Kg will be possible....

On the other hand, the 1.0lt engine sounds EVEN MORE fishy. Come on, Honda is taking hits in the market, and you think they are going to introduce their own "Smart", i.e a waaaaaaayyyyyyy underpowered little coupe ? No way. I'm thinking maybe the SOHC i-VTEC will be the base model (110HP), the underbored 1.6 DOHC VTEC will be the "main" model, and lets hope that they decide to install either the 2.0lt i-VTEC of the CTR or the 2.0lt DOHC VTEC of the S2K and name this model "CRX TypeR" or something like that......

Now, THAT would be awesome

 

I'm sure if they make it they will screw something up. I love mine, it will be either over priced, crappy suspension, or one weak motor. But then again maybe they will suprise us all and give us a good prices, decent motor, and good suspension in a nice little CRX package. Or they will make it and figure out that it will oust some of there current Acura products and trash the concept or make it an Acura so they can charge more.

honda did not create the VTeC system its just what they call it

 

Yea many other car companys have variable valve timing. Ferrari, Toyota...

 

actually it was ford that came up with it. they couldn't get it to work right.
Honda just picked it up and got it working.

i doubt they would care.

 

^^^ Didnt know that, what car did they try it in? Or it didnt get into production.

 

Looks like Honda is actually going through with it!

 

While Honda thinks about reintroducing one of its most glorious models, we can't help but blurt out our full support, - this is a no-brainer, guys.

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 coupé), 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 coupé 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.

Can someone put those numbers into HP?

 

110kw = 148hp
115kw = 154hp
