Insider: Honda To Preview CR-X Concept In Tokyo!

We’ve been tipped off by a reliable source of ours (who wishes to remain anonymous for apparent reasons), that Honda will take the wraps off a compact coupe concept at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show on October 24. According to our insider, the prototype will serve as an appetizer to the forthcoming CRX that was abandoned by the Japanese carmaker (but not by Honda’s fans) in 1997.

From what we were told, the 2007 Tokyo Show concept will differ radically in design to the 2006 L.A. Show Remix prototype (see here) that was deemed as previewing the next-generation CRX. The reason that Honda quickly retired the Remix concept was the poor reception it received from both fans and the public. Two compact concepts in a year is definitely not a coincidence and Honda is certainly getting ready to revive the CRX. Question is; will the 2007 Tokyo concept manage to win the public opinion with its design or will Honda have to get back to the drawing board once again. We’ll find out soon enough.
