I saw this today while I was reading Autoblog coverage of the Tokyo Auto Show, and had to make a thread about it.... I havent been on here in a while (college PWNS my time) but yeah this looks like it might be kinda sweet

i hope they change it a little before it actually gets released (if it gets released). its too futuristic for my tastes. I like the idea they have for the interior, but imo it could use some touching up

There are things I like about that car and things I don't, but if I look at things realisticly than I am actually quite impressed with that design. the mirrors are too thin and it is definetly a space-ship on wheels, but thats the way design is going, honda is making a good shot of keeping their design current. and while i'm disapointed it wont be an SH-AWD Turbo k20, but instead a hybrid it makes sense with how eco minded everyone is now adays. thumbs up for keeping current, but in personal taste far from what I would pay 25 grand or more for.

I think the rear is way to big. All the new cars these days are looking tanky. What happened to slim and streamlined? Simplicity can be quite tasteful.

i think they just need to fall back to the good old 90-91 and see how they can improve on that, if they made a brand new one that looked just like a jdm rex with a good power train and similar suspension i'd probably buy it

It looks like a constipated, cross-eyed crx.

I like it a lot. Remeber this is only a concept car. The mirrors, center exhaust, wheels, front bumper design will never make it to production. I won't even mention the interiors chance of seeing production. This is the best hope I have seen thus far of a new CRX!!

i totally agree, i cant wait to see what they do to it for production!!

BTW Honda announced today there will be a production model that comes from this concept!!! (also from the FCX too, a sedan)

Good news if they plan a production model on this. Tho, I quite like this one, even if the front is too much RX8-like for my taste.

I'm not liking it much (though I do like it to a certain extent). I don't really like how a lot of cars look these days, they seem a lot bulkier and futuristic then I really care for.

I know it is a concept, but I hope they slim it up a bit, that is probably my biggest complaint, but at the same time I'm glad Honda is bringing back the CRX in some form.

the concept has not grown on me yet. i gave it over a week to just simmer but i cant look at it too much. Personally I think the best starting point for a new crx would have been the insight. It looks like the crx's ugly cousin that with some plastic surgery could be very sexy.

And if anybody think that this car will get a k20 turbo or non turbo with any kind of sh awd is smoking a crack/weed hybrid of their own. For starters the price tag will be beyond what anybody would wanna spend for this car and its size. It would canabalize the civic till it dies and i doubt honda would let their baby civic die a horrible death this way. IF it does get that engine and suspension then it would be targated to the hardcore tuner and not the mass market which is what honda is gonna be shooting for. The young kids who like the crx's and dont really have a family to drive around but want something small and fun to drive. Lets say we all were regular car consumers and not tuners would any of you spend 30k+ on a crx????? And you know with a k20 turbo and sh-awd you gonna spend more than 30k on it. It will get a k series hybrid thats a lil smaller than the 2.0. maybe a k16 ( even though it doesnt exsist im sure they will make one for it being a 1.6l engine) and i think with that it will still be quick, nimble, and not be over priced. IT willbe the the crx si used to be.
