The "Ultimate" CRX ? 1989 CRX 'Exclusive' (only 350 units built)

[Rob.]

Since we're in the CRX mood here in vortex, what do you think is the 'ultimate' CRX ?
I think it is the ultra rare JDM 'Exclusive' model with the rare beige lether interior and Glass roof !

Before the birth of the SiR, Honda had two CRX models in Japan, the 1.5X and the Si.
Based on these two models, they came up with 7 other “spin-off” models (talk about
variety). The rarest one, at that time with only 350 built units, was the 1989 “EXCLUSIVE”.
It was based on the Si platform and came stock with the following items:

-ABS
-Glass Roof
-Power Windows
-Power Steering
-Power Mirrors
-Custom Interior (Beige colour, I think Honda called it “Camel”)
-Full Leather seating door cars
-Leather wrapped steering wheel
-Map lights
-Auto-AirCon (Climate Control)
-Super Sound System (double-Din head unit, bass tubes, etc.)
-Chromed interior door handles, glovebox button
-White corner lenses
-A few other little “bells & whistles”

Nothing says exclusive like a Doberman Pinscher.

Otherwise, that looks really nice for a CRX; exclusive even.

does it come with the dog?

I dig it

Anyone who pays more than 1500 for that should be thrown to the wolves.

Wowzers. Good thread is good.

Shut up. Worthless troll bait post isn't even well thought out.

You're dumb.. No seriously.. you are !

The color combo on the car and dog is the same. Coincidence? I think not!

[The Igneous Faction]

God that backseat is priceless...

Good looking interior from the front seats forward, though.

Even the JDM CRX Glass is tinted bronze for UV protection !

This nostalgia threads keep poping up I'm gonna need a bigger bank account and bigger garage....

That was the car of my dreams (CRX) and when I was old enough to drive and get a job Honda said HA! and stoped producing it....

[patrickvr6]

At least the dog is German.

[Dave Zero]

That is a nice interior for 1989. The car is awesome.

[kwik!gti]

Was the black and camel the only color combo? Do you know?

Man, I'm honestly thinking of selling my hatchback to snag a CRX. I want one more and more as of late.

Its good Honda stopped it.. or else the newer CRX's would have looked wretchedly ugly !

Yes. Only for the CRX Exclusive model.

[invisiblewar]

I must have this.

Didn't you make a thread about this car a month ago?

Regardless, I love this car.

My first car was actually a zc powered rhd conversion I did with a front clip "cyber" cr-x it came with a glass top as well, but I didn't get the whole car... I do love this one...in fact it has the zc motor. You can tell because the zc motors need that little bump on the hood to clear the timing belt cover.

That's probably actually the nicest CRX i've ever seen. The glass roof and beige leather are sweet.

This.

The car is still a CRX to me but damn, that interior is cool.

no idea.. I searched for teh thread and couldnt find anything.

I like the K9 alarm system. Probably the best anti-theft device Honda's ever used.

[dcmix5]

So, Honda used to be able to design cars?

Someone forward this post to John Mendel and Ito.

[simple]

That CRX plus the Kate Upton video have just wiped me out...

Ok. Someone else definitely posted these pictures recently. I just assumed it would have been you

I just steal the dog and leave the old Honda alone.

[Seabird]

What's the power bump on the hood for? Did all the Si(s) have those?

[nickthaskater]

Those seats are so baller

I'll take mine without the panoramic roof though, please.

[The Holy Molar]

Love it.

[Dr.AK]

I have to show this to a Coworker. He drives these gen of CRXs since '99, I bet he'll lust over this like nothing else

[TOMPASS]

"A few other bells and whistles", including the awesome color-coordinated detachable security device?

[BRealistic]

CRXs were cool because they were lightweight nimble cars.
I respect the rarity of this Exclusive model, but there is nothing that says slower and worse handling than a heavy glass roof on a light car (see Mini Cooper).

what is VERNO?
