Re: NEW CRX IS COMING
With the price, the weight to power, and the complicated new computer systems, I'd probably spend the same amount trying a new platform all together. Like a Cobalt!!! 
The simple honda's that we all like to play with, with interchangable motors, ect. are gone. The only thing honda can do now is make just another new car, cause nobody else is going simple, swapable engines either.
OBD2 was the last straw.

Re: NEW CRX IS COMING
agreed...although thanks to todays yuppies probably won't happen 
I wanna see this thing bare bones...optional A/C, no PS, optional ABS, optional sunroof and roll up windows. then compliment it with some nice racing style buckets a decent yet not too futuristic dash setup(no NAV option, crazy LEDs and all that BS)...a ------- DRIVER'S car!
but what motor would be nice in there? I think something with 140-160hp would do it good as long as it can keep the weight down. I guess it'll probably be the K20, but unrelated to the CRX I have heard rumors of Honda developing a D18?(not sure if its out yet, completed or not)
EDIT: just read the article....seems the 1.8 is already out....maybe throw that 1.8 in the new CRX with a healtheir valvetrain and upped compression

Re: NEW CRX IS COMING
Time will tell alot of things, and I'm in agreement that I hope they stick with many of the features (or lack of) that we know and love about the crx. I'm hoping Honda did their market research in finding out what crx owners like about their cars as well as what prospective future buys are looking for.. I'm simply hoping for an updated version of what I have. As for customization options, people and companies will always figure out ways to do things
