Re: Honda CR-Z. new age CRX
What does that even mean?
You want a car with 20 year old styling?
Or do just want a Civic based car that’s as slow as your normal Civic but with all the inconvenience of two seats instead of four?
At some point you have to modernize and contemporize your design. Sure the styling is pretty “out there” but so is most of Hondas styling these days. And I don't see anyone complaining that the S2000 doesn't have chains driving the rear wheels like the old S800 did.

Just like you said, its "too out there" especially for a comeback of the "Cr-x".
Honda reputation was never built on styling IMO, which is why I hate most of their car designs today.
I don't know shit about a S2000, so you got me on that one.
Basically if that's what it's going to look like, don't bring it back at all!
I've always wanted to take a pair of 2000-2006 Insights, bandsaw them both about 6 inches off center (one to the left and one to the right), and join them together to make one wider Insight. Then throw away the drivetrain and make some decent looking body work, and some wider glass.. Then I'd have a modern CRX, kinda.
Yes.

Re: Honda CR-Z. new age CRX
I'm sure everyone realizes that it's a pretty radical concept, which as a general rule get toned down and smoothed out to make them more acceptable to a larger chunk of the buying public. So whether you like the styling of the concept or not, the styling will change and a lot of the elements will get revised or discarded.
I forgot where I was going with that line of thought. Maybe later.

It wont look like that when they produce it. Its like the very first concept of the the new NSX. That concept looked horribly futuristic and then in the final spy photos the car looked awesome(just my opinion, im not looking for an arguement).

Re: Honda CR-Z. new age CRX
basically they needa just base it off the 88-91 model and just modernize it like ford and gm did with the mustang and camaro...if they did that i think there would be some sick concepts
