History of the Honda Crx
The meaning of Crx?
Crx means: Civic Renaissance model X.
Renaissance means a rebirth of something; therefore Crx
means it is a rebirth of the civic car. If you own a Crx or
know a little about them you will realize that most of the
parts are compatible with the 88-89 civic car. The Crx was
based off of a civic. This is why it is called a Civic Crx.
