[net.auto] CRX - Perspective

chrisp@oliven.UUCP (Chris Prael) (05/16/84)

All of this discussion about the Honda CRX seems to me to miss the main points
about the car. Quite simply there are 2 reasons for looking at the CRX:

	1. You want a car that is "sporty", cheap, and you like its looks.
	Probably 98% of the people who buy the car will get it for this reason.
	The majority of them would be just as well off in a Corolla 2-door or
	an Isuzu Impulse, or some such.

	2. For a skilled driver who is looking for a high performance car, the
	CRX has a superb price/performance ratio. (Note the word skilled.) On
	a twisty road, a skilled driver can walk away from most of the high
	performance cars that are priced up to 8 times the inflated price of
	the CRX. In these terms, the CRX may well be the bargain of the century,	at any price up to $15,000.

So, if you fall in the first catagory, you are probably wasting both time and
money on a CRX. If, on the other hand, you are an impecunious DRIVER, the car
is clearly worth a wait and cheap at twice the price.
