I know not directly civic related. But I'm a huge fan of the idea of Honda bringing back the CR-Z sport hybrid as a new FWD coupe/hatch option to replace the civic coupe. FWD sport coupes have been a huge part of Honda's legacy, CRX, Prelude, Civic Coupe, Integra/RSX, etc. I'm an illustrator and graphic designer professionally. So I decided to mock up a concept sketch of a new CR-Z as well as a detailed spec/trim sheet just for fun.
Honda re-purchased the trademark for the CR-Z right before they officially cancelled the civic coupe. My hope is that someday, we will see a more sport focused 2 or 3 door model from honda that would compete head to head with the likes of the Veloster, GR86, and BRZ in the compact sport segment. The civic coupe was always a half hearted attempt due to it's relation to the civic sedan which had to be built with a focus on mass market appeal, and easy to drive/use configurations that ultimately held the coupe back from being a true sport compact in many ways. A new CR-Z could throw out much of the civic's size, weight, mass market appeal in favor of a form over function style with focus on performance and dynamics.
Again, these are my drawings and my spec sheet. Enjoy them. But they're in no way official honda materials.
