It's hard to believe that Honda made it's first real car, the Honda Civic, less than thirty years ago. It's simply amazing how far this company has come in such a relatively short period. A combination of innovative designs, advanced technology and, most important of all, quality products have made Honda a market leader. In the small car segment Honda Civic is the car that others now use to measure their products.
The Honda CRX is a little 2+2-seater coupe with scorching performance and adhesive roadholding. Expensive to insure, needs careful servicing, and rear seats are only really suitable for small children - but it's great fun!
The Honda CRX was first introduced in 1984. During it's first year of production it was hailed as one of the top ten Cars of the Eighties by Motor Trend Magazine. This car was also named one of the top ten cars of the eighties by another reputable car magazine. This car was a great success. The CRX marked Honda's reentry into the low-end sports coupe market.
The older Honda S500/S800 and the Z-600 Coupes were a great success domestically, but were a failure outside of Asia. So this is why the Honda CRX was introduced. This car was released the same year that Honda promised to begin revamping every car in their production line every four years. This car was one of the best compact cars on the road during the eighties and nineties. I'm sad to inform you that it is now out of production.
