The Honda CR-X, originally launched as the Honda Ballade Sports CR-X in Japan, is a front-wheel-drive sport compact car manufactured by Honda between 1983 and 1991. It was replaced by the ''Honda CR-X del Sol'' for the 1992 model year. Although there are many supposed definitions for the acronym CR-X, the most widely accepted are "Civic Rally Cross", and "Civic Renaissance Model X".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CRX )〕 In the US, the CRX (not CR-X) was marketed as an economy sport kammback, with room for two passengers. The European-spec car received a ZC engine and a 2+2 seating arrangement. Redesigned in 1988 and produced to 1991, the CRX was popular for its performance, nimble handling, and good fuel economy. In the United States, its performance model, the Si (with the SOHC (D16A6) not the equally sized JDM Si 1590cc (ZC) DOHC engine), was a favorite. Honda's 1992 CRX del Sol was marketed as a CR-X in some markets. ==First generation== The first generation CRX was sold in some regions outside Japan as the Honda Civic CRX. At its introduction, the CRX was available in Japan at ''Honda Verno'' dealership sales channels, and accompanied the Vigor, the Quint, and the Prelude. The original 1.3 liter car (chassis code AE532) had an EPA Highway mileage rating of 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Compare Side-by-Side )〕 in 1984 and was reported to often achieve over in favorable driving conditions. The later 1.5 liter American-market CRX HF (High Fuel economy) model (chassis codes EC1 and AF) could also reliably achieve very good gas mileage, more than a decade before gas-electric hybrids appeared on the market, and at no price premium over the base model; the 1.5 liter is rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (under the new rating system) at city and highway.〔(Gas Mileage of 1987 Honda Civic CRX HF ), fueleconomy.gov website〕 The Japanese Si and European 1.6i-16 models came with a 1590 cc DOHC engine putting out in the UK-spec model and in the JDM model. Though similar versions of the same engine, the Japanese Si engine was stamped ZC, while the European engine was stamped ZC1. Japanese buyers took advantage of the largest 1.5 L engine while still paying the same amount of annual road tax. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honda CR-X」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
