Don't worry about it, man. They seem like a pretty sad couple of guys if they need to chase you around the internet to insult you...that's my first impression. Anyway, I'm not going to turn this into a another hater-ade thread...
There have been rumors since I bought my rex and joined the forums about the return of the rex... that was 7 years ago, and no one has seen anything more than some clever photoshops mentioning a return of the CRX to the Honda new car lots.

Every year there are rumors of a new CRX. Every year it's a lie. The CRX's role as a high-mileage 2-seat personal commuter car was adopted by the Insight, which is now discontinued. People don't want cars like that any more. The role of a sporty compact CRX Si was homologated with the Civic Si. There's no room for it in the modern Honda lineup.
The CRX was from another time in Honda's history, when Soichiro Honda was still alive and held the title of "supreme adviser." Current President and CEO of Honda, Takeo Fukui, has said that for 2009 a new, compact, affordable hybrid will be introduced with an annual sales target of 100k. A new Fit is likely to show up around the same time. A new CRX, however, is not going to happen.

I would fork over whatever it took if it came with a 200hp k20 with a 6spd tranny and it was a nice light weight 2 seater, sleek CRX styled lines with all the goodies we do to our hondas already on it. And to be honest, you are more likely to see a new vehicle come out like that then the return of the rex.crxter said:
True, but using other materials you CAN built a safe vehicle like the new Civic Si, weigh alot less. The same way they made the GM EV1 so damn light. Magnesium seat frames/pans. Things like that. But of course Honda would never spring for parts like that. The days of lightweight cheap hondas are long gone. I personally haven't liked anything since 2000 from them.GSRCRXsi said:

The Crx is NOT coming back, it's time has passed.
This has been dicussed over and over and over.
The closest thing that Honda has now is the Fit.
The Crx is a small niche market.
If Honda did "reisssue" the Crx, it would be expensive and def would & could not be the same. It would have power steering, ABS, more safety features than you could imagine, it just would not be the same.

Dream motor? Like actual dream? An H22 that weighs 100 pounds less than it does, with perfect torque and HP curves putting out about 300/300 to the wheels. Maybe with an optional supercharger for good measure.90crxT said:
I read an artical mentioning it in some magazine (don't remember wich one) pretty recently. They hyped it up as a CRX but then said that it was probley just gonna be a hatchback version of the Civic Si or Type R or something that would never even make it to the states. I know this is a little vauge but I imagine that is what you are wondering about.90crxT said:
