new crx concept car from honda
 
Anybody been reading up on it?

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6095

Parts of it look good IMO, but the back and the front look a little awkward... not to mention a hybrid power plant? Oh well, hopefully they actually make it get decent mileage if they are taking it that way.

it looks terrible, without the mirrors on the back the back would look good.

Re: new crx concept car from honda
 
kinda a repost but yeah, ugly as ----. If they changed the front end it wouldn't be hardly as bad. I'm sure the "HF" equivalent will be the hybrid, and an "SI" with a 6 speed k series...I hope.

Anyway, I prefer a used, smaller, lighter, more unsafe original crx over it any day. The new one is supposed to be 2600lbs or less, if the fit was 2200-2400 im not sure why they can't beat or match it.

Repost. But it isnt a concept anymore. Honda says its going to build it (hopefully change a few things though)

You can probably expect it to have some sort of K-Series Failure powerplant and matching electric drive, of which the production of the batteries themselves produce more pollution than the engine would probably make in 100k miles lol.

Me? I think im gonna buy one of these for the wife.

I remember when the new (06) style civic concepts came out, they looked funny for sure, but before they put them into production they usually make the cars less..sharp I guess you could say. If they do make it, I bet it will be alittle less round and alittle less gay looking..hopefully. and hopefully there will be some choices for the motor. but damn that new evo is looking pretty ------- sick.

Yeah the big thing I like about the new evo is the 4b11T powerplant. Mitsu took everything good about the 4g63, cast an aluminum block, and left out the failure parts of it (timing belt lol). Its a modular engine too, those other H cars are gonna be running the 4b11 too... they are already building a 2.4l version, so strokers are a given. All this combined with the "good" evo tranny and the latest flash programs available should be interesting....

For the wife, we know who the car is really for. LOL

Nah she's in real estate and needs a 4door to haul ppl around in. Plus she wants a turbo car and if I buy her the EvoX then I dont have to build another crx or whatever.



























































But ill drive it on the weekends. ;D

Nice choice. I think I'm going to look at older evolutions when I get out of school as a practical daily driver. It's a well built car and if you take care of it, the car holds it's value and demand.

That car is gaysauce. And a hybrid in the crx? Did Honda even know what kind of people typically own crx's?

Hate to burst your bubble, but the latest flash programs can't even come close to doing anything with the X's. For the '03-'06 Evo's they used a MUTIII protocol, which even though it's proprietary to Mitsu, is still pretty easily decipherable to anyone with a decent tech knowledge of hex binary and a disassembler. The newest Evo X release has swapped over to a Can-Bus protocol, which so far is being used on '07 and up models from Mitsu, and so far has proven to be un-flashable and almost unreadable with the normal hex disassemblers. The fact that it's throttle-by-wire is not really a big deal, late model Sti's with tbw are being flashed with EcuFlash and no issues.

Early reports that I've heard on the motor is that it's an open deck design similar to honda, so if it's true I really can't see it taking abuse as well as the older cast iron closed deck 4g63t's. All in all I'd say give it at least a year or 2 before buying one, just to see what the issues and tuning solutions will be, or go buy an '06 Evo IX and have fun.


As for the Cr-z posted above, that thing is a mockery to the name Honda. :3
