That drawing looks eerily similar to the now discontinued Acura RSX.

2 door hatch! Love it. I love my 91 Integra 2dr hatch, fun little cars with great gas mileage and surprisingly good utility. I always liked the CRX. Unfortunately, I'm sure the F&F crowd will ruin plenty of them.

yup, its got those same scalloped headlamps. I always liked that little car. Sorta the same idea as the VW Sciroco/Corrado

I remember being tossed around in the backseat (!?) of one of those being flogged around on a small country road.

It probabably would have been the next generation Acura RSX if the RSX had not been discontinued. Just replace the Honda badges with Acura badges....

Actually, every where else in the world but the US, vehicles we know as Acuras are badged as Hondas. Acura is a US only brand.

Yup, as an example, the European Accord is badged as an Acura here. They most likely won't badge this car as an RSX in the US now, since the RSX died of poor sales; it'll be a Honda CRX instead.

It seems like too close a competitor with the civic si. I wouldnt be surprised if they even used the same 197 hp engine. It doesnt make a lot of sense to produce a car that might steel sales from your own company.

Not sure about that particular rendering, but that would be cool if Honda brought back the CRX. Never was quite sure why they nuked it, if slowly via the neutered Sol replacement. The little CRX was a perfect urban street rat, combing terrier agility, perky performance, a parkable size and surprising room for two people and their stuff. Add Pinninfarina (rumored the nameless designer) good looks and typical Honda reliability and they had a perfect cult car. Somehow they seemed to have found a million ways into talking themselves into not doing the quite obvious thing and bringing it back.

While a very different performance car than a Stang, still an excellent one in its own right.
