A Honda CRX Love Affair, and the CR-Z

Ask and you shall receive...

As for the CR-Z, I'm cautiously optimistic.

Here's a local Insight.

That car looks so confused with those skinny tires in back.

just as funny as some of the "tuners" around here (from back in the late '70's and early '80's) that put the wide tires on the back of their Honda's

these have a purpose though. Those insights run into the 9's.

ya I know... basically I was just laughing at the dudes that didn't understand the idea of FWD (I've owned FWD since '76)

Actually, if Im not mistaken, wasnt the insight was the first 4 banger car to break into the sub something-or-other (8?) second times down the 1320 (maybe 4 or 5 years ago).

Sometimes you must take a car on its mechanical merits over its visual ones, I think the insight is one of those...I prefer a mix of visual and performance, so the insight isnt for me

Yeah, but it's mostly the light chassis. I can't think of any drag-prepped Insight that kept the hybrid setup.

Hmmm...yeah forgot about that part...still tho, thats pretty quick for a reasonably dumb looking car

hence why the CR-V isn't a CRX either.

Nope, the CR-V is a jacked up RT4WD Civic wagon. :)

I really miss my crx. I still have high hopes for this car, and I'm reserving judgment until I see one in person.
