As far as the civic goes, I just want them to be small, light and dual-wishbone again. The new ones are real porkers and the soul is just completely gone.
^this completely, Honda has made a force to be reckoned with The technology put into its engines, The light dual-wishbone suspension FF platform Hondas made has proven its self many times over. I cant see the civic being turned into a FR after all these years of production. I do agree that a FR "hot hatch" from Honda would be awesome.

I love the idea of a factory FR CRX though!

The sad part is the S2000 is the closest we'll ever get.

I dont want to see a RWD civic, I want to see a replacement for the s2000 that looks better and has a motor similar to the k20a type r in it.

I wouldnt mind seeing something like this, not completely like this, but this could be a start. I hate convertibles though, so no vert option!

I like the body, but hate the headlights, looks like they stole them from an AUDI or the new 370z.

They need to just take the last CRX, keep the basic dual wishbone platform, stiffen the chassis, update the aesthetics and offer it with a k20. They would sell a jillion and save a kabillion.

the problem is all the new safety features DOT requires for a remake of what we miss

Vivek's GXP has air bags in the seats not to mention all the other ones.

small and light weight is only for the super cars now

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
