The Crx was just bad timing really. Also, at the time it was impractical, u.s. models were two seat only and had horrible crash ratings. I have seen several torn two bits whereas others cars of the time would have seen minor damage. Poor sales. Agree, the market for this type of vehicle was bad at the time, but the car is still classy today. CRX has a little tank that went empty fast making people think bad milage. Just bad timing after the gas crunch in the 70s/80s. ANSWER Actually, Honda did make CR-X for awhile, the DEL SOL was a Civic CR-X del sol in Japan. Then Honda Hybrid was the 3gen CRX at first, but decide made it to hybrid. then they quit making them. actually they are talking about bring the CRX back. but its not practical now, people want a car with more room, good gas mileage and last long. yea CRX gas tank its small, i have a JDM 1.6 dohc vtec motor in mine, go from 105hp si US model to 158hp Japan motor and able to rev up to 8300rpm. fun, but gas don't last, still get 30mpg. Japan model CR-X Si and CR-X SiR CR-X Si come with a 1.6L DOHC NONvtec engine produce 130hp CR-X SiR come with a 1.6L DOHC vtec engine (same engine in 1999-2000 civic si except it have 10.2:1 compressor ratio, instead 10.4:1) with a short gear ratio tranny some equip LSD which both wheel accel/spin. Have a taller hood, single light bulb, clear color corner light, amber bumper light that wrap around the bumper, Sun roof its glass, Both mirror its power folding, it have a back seat. Some model even have recarao racing seat or leather/heated seat. Why can't we get some real japan spec car here?????
