Honda is thinking of bringing back it's best model ever produced and I am very pleased that they might do so, I say might because it is not official if Honda is planning on doing so, but it is very possible they will.

It has been almost 20 years since the CRX was first introduced and the combination of being light and potent hasn't lost it's appeal and Honda is seriously considering developing a two-seat sports car with those qualities. The car which Honda is already calling the CRX, could appear in late 2004 or early 2005.

In Japan the CRX will exist in two forms: an entry-level model with a 1.0-litre DOHC VTEC triple producing appoximately 74 kW (99 hp) (the engine derived from the block used in Honda's Insight hybrid coupe), and a hardcore 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (also with VTEC) generating 110-115 kW (about 150 hp). Not incredible, until you realise that the target weight for the four-cylinder coupe is said to cut under 800 kg about 1920 lbs). That's 200 kg (440 lbs) less than the Mini and 175 kg (385 lbs) lighter than an MR2.

Transmissions proposed are a five-speed manual for the 1.0-liter three cylinder, and a six-speed manual for the 1.6-liter.

The new two-seater is small, and information from Honda indicates a wheelbase in the 2250 to 2350 mm (89 to 93 inch range), overall length of less than 3650 mm (144 inches), width of 1690 mm (67 inches) and height below 1270 mm (50 inches). This makes it a strictly a two-person ride.
