saw a new CRX SI?

okay so im driving back home from scarborough tonite just minding my own business when i see a small little car coming up behind me with HID's it kinda attractred my eye so i looked over as it passed by on the 404 and it was a honda id never seen before, at first i thought it was a honda hybrid but as i looked at the back of it it read CRX Si. Anyways, i took a picture of it with my palm pilot but it didnt turn out too great due to there being no light
Im guessing this was some sort of CRX prototype but who knows

It is possible. It has been a rumour and maybe he just had a sighting of a prototype. Honda usually hides the badging and covers them up. There is a plant here in Ontario.

Wow man are you sure it just wasn't a souped up CRX haha .. Be honest man.. I read the article, but still there are no real spy photos of it yet so its still hard to imagine its already out there.

Cool...if you did spot it i thought manufacturers take the badging off the cars as they test them, and most are covered up in those bug protector looking things. It's possible honda was testing a concept in colder temperatures

or like everyone says, you need new glasses

i saw the video... kieran sent it to me...
he got my trust......
the video does indicate for sure its not a civic si
and for sure, it does not look like anything i've seen before either... so it can be true its a prototype... and they are probably testing it out in different road conditions, weather condition, etc.
that guy was trying to run away from kieran anyways...
i wouldn't guarantee its a crx coz i dunno too much news about it, and the video isn't 100% clear
but i believe in kieran's words... plus the evidence of the video
this can be a crx being test'd on the road... and it can be the 07 crx... SUPPORT

they'd better not waste everyones time though and just drop a crx -s with a K20 already dropped in there......that would make sense

I'm pretty sure Honda wouldn't put a prototype on the road like that.. they wouldn't want people seeing it, and also how could you insure/safety it? that could get the company in deep **** legally..

It was probably a honda insight with HID's i have seen them before on the newer ones. Plus the insight IMO looks like an updated CRX minus the rims and rear fenders covers. Its possible that somone stuck CRX badges on it to, god knows I see enough cars with the wrong badges on the on a daily basis.

there is like no way to mix those cars up....the insight is such a piece of crap and the only thing that looks like a crx on it is the somewhat flat back...GAH! i hate the honda insight..lol

Blair! u honestly think i would mix up a insight with a something ive never seen before. I can assure u 100% that is was some kind of prototype model for the CRX. the insight has the rear wheels that are kind of covered, this crx was not. It had kind of the same styling as the new civics but had the rear hatchback. If anyone here can tell me how to host a video on here i can show u the video i took
