Whoops, there go my plans on getting an '04 Civic Si hatch.

I'm willing to wait for this new CRX.

Don't disappoint me Honda!

Isn't the Insight conceptually a reborn CRX HF?

I love the Insight's interior. It has the same feel as the CRX's, but it's
much more refined. Unfortunately, the sporting aspect has been traded for
fuel efficiency.

When comparing a modern car to the CRX's attitude, I think the Celica GTS
comes closest. If Toyota was able to release a stripped down version of the
Celica while shaving off several thousand off the price, we would have
ourselves something that would be worth taking up the CRX's baton.

Sorry, I ONLY buy 4x4 trucks. Doesn't matter who makes it. I buy trucks for
work and play and would NEVER buy a FWD truck.

I's your money spend it were you wish, I could not car less.
I guess you never heard of the Subaru Baja 4dr truck? Not hard
to figure out why, nobody buys it either.

You are referring something intend for car buyers to stop them
from going to trucks, not truck buyers. The the El Camino and
Ranchero were RWD adn they never sold well either and were
dropped.

I don't think Honda's going to make a FWD truck. It'll drive all wheels.

That's not to say it'll be a four-by in the classic sense. It'll be an
all-wheel drive vehicle, a la Pilot/MDX, with an open-air trunk.

We went through this 7 years ago with the CRV. There's a HUGE
difference between a Jeep driving all four wheels and an Audi Quattro
driving all four wheels.

Just because all four wheels are being driven, doesn't mean they're the
same thing or were ever meant to do the same things. Jesus, people.
Buy a clue.

And they wonder why I keep saying that people are idiots.

What about the FIT being sold in the USDM! Pretty neat but too small for
me.
