heres the quote from HAN. its a little more informative:

Thats what Auto Express, a UK car mag, has predicted in its latest issue. The news is also posted on its website. The full article is below:

Civic CRX Set To Storm Back


here's nothing civilised about the new Civic. With the emphasis firmly on making its family hatchback more sporty than ever, Honda has radical plans for the next-generation car - and they include bringing back the CRX badge.

The mag's exclusive spy picture reveals what the all-new model will look like, and shows another interpretation of the Civic shape that has evolved over the past 30 years. The front end will be more rakish, while the current version's MPV-like styling will be smoothed out into a more conventional hatchback form.

While both three and five-door variants are expected to be available from launch - set for 2006 - Honda is also said to be planning a high-performance flagship coupé. That would wear the CRX badge last used in 1997. All versions are certain to get Type R models, with power outputs in excess of 200bhp. Also expect less extreme cars with plenty of visual impact, but without the high running costs of a hot hatch.

However, there will be more to the new Civic than just driving thrills. Honda knows that a large proportion of buyers still place practicality as their top priority, so the five-door is likely to be one of the most versatile family cars on the market. Adapting design ideas from the Jazz, it is expected to get impressive interior space and rear seats that fold away to leave a completely flat load floor. Chris Thorp

Apparently the CRX will lead the Civic line as the performance coupe, replacing the moribund Si. An even hotter Type R is in the works as well. If this news is true, and I think we can put some stock in it, the 2006 Civic line-up is starting to look exciting. There's a photochop in the mag, so if someone has pls post it.

Where the picture form that article

[AudioCra-Z]

I havn't seen that magazine around. What issue?

[87ClubRed]

Didn't Tomoyo have a pic of the concept CRX in one of her posts? I'm pretty sure there was one within the last month...maybe a little before that.

[nivek2002]

Please note, this is brand new news. Not related to the MANY rumors that have been going around since 1997. Not from that fake magazine cover, or the photochoped insight

[87Si]

Ok, I swore never to buy a new car.. just cause I like buying them cheap, I like seeing how they perform and what starts breaking down over the years.

However, if the CRX comes back, and the idea of a lightweight, great handling car comes out of it.. I am stating now.. I will buy one

I am going to start saving now. I want pics soooo bad
