Other than the silly looking instrument cluster, not bad for what it is. Those wheels look almost like they were ripped off a Explorer though. Where's Ford's lawyers? Would rather have a Puma, should Ford decide to bring that back.

You know they really should have done that for the Insight's three bar grill. Hey why not sue Suzuki too

Not bad, if not a good looking as the originals (Gen I or II), but long overdue and I suspect, especially with an Si version, will be a hit for those looking for a small, affordable and economic sporty car. Put a 200hp VTEC in the Si, with appropriately uprated chassis bits, and the legend will be revived anew.

Its styling obviously harkens back to the original CRXs, especially the second gen. Its rendered in a more modern motif, of course, which sacrifices the light, tight, spry look of the original for the obligatory thick, high-waisted pudginess of current design conventions. I suppose that's supposed to confer bulging muscularity but usually comes off more Sumo wrestler than decathlete. Oh well, to today's equally pudgy kids, it'll look just fine.

And for the love of God please increase torque. 137 lb ft torque from Civic Si is a joke.
