Honda CR-X
The Honda CR-X (originally launched as the Honda Ballade Sports CR-X in Japan) is a sport-compact car manufactured by Honda from 1983 until 1991. Nearly 400,000 were produced. The first-generation CRX was marketed in some regions outside Japan as the Honda Civic CRX. Although there are many supposed definitions for the initialism CR-X, the most widely accepted is "Civic Renaissance Experimental". It was marketed as part of the Civic (and briefly Ballade) model ranges. In North America, the CRX was marketed as an economy sport two-seat vehicle while Japanese and European market cars came with a 2+2 seating arrangement, described by Honda as a "one-mile seat" for emergency use. Redesigned for the 1988 model year and produced until 1991, the front-wheel-drive CR-X was popular for its performance, nimble handling, and good fuel economy. The CR-X was replaced by the del Sol, which was marketed as a CR-X in some markets.
