Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=t0nkatracker,33719]I noticed that all of the CRXs listed on this site are listed as such "CRX" but in japan (and I think most places besides the USA) they were sold as "CR-X" with a hyphen so shouldn't they be listed as such? I also was wondering about the US Spec CRXs and why they are not listed as "Civic CRX" as they were always sold here in the Civic range of vehicles (2D Coupe, 3D HB, 4D Sedan, 5D Wagon & CRX) The first generation of CRXs (84-87)were badged with both CIVIC badges and CRX decals. The second generation (88-91) only had CRX decals but were still sold as Civic models and were referred to in that manner. Take for instance the following picture shows the owners manual for my 1991 Civic CRX and a Honda Service Manual for a 1990 both referring to the car as a Civic. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r82/tonkatracker/crx/crx.jpg[/quote]

Naming of this kind of models has always be a problem anyway.
See the Renault Mégane Scénic: depending on the year and where you look (registration, badges, manual, commercial documents, etc.) that changes...

bref I have to disagree with some of those statements, while the second gens were only badged as CRX in Europe (same as US) I have owners manuals and brochures from European counties that list it as Civic CRX. and as for the CR-X only being on the Ballade Sports in Japan I also know that this is wrong as I have a rear taillight garnish on my 1991 that was brought back from Japan and has CR-X on it.

bref

1st gen CRX (84-87)were badged Civic CRX in Europe. In some market they were sold as "Civic Coupé CRX".

The second gen (88-92) was badged and called CRX only, all over Europe

3rd gen were badged Civic CRX, catalogs are talking about CRX or Civic CRX. As far as I know, in Germany only, was CRX Del Sol. In France, and from 1996 to 1998, were called CRX vtec (new transmission, lether seats, airbag, alloy wheels...)

In Japan the CR-X existed only in very early models,which were "Ballade Sports CR-X

ah I didn't know that you could do that based on year (I thought you could only do the whole list) I am sorry, had I known you could do it that way I would not have commented on every 85+ Nova.

For this It would probably be easiest to make all CRX "Civic CRX" and then the few that are different can be changed.

Example:
On several 80s Nova you said "rebadged Toyota so the origin isn't USA. Should be Origin: Japan, Built in USA made for USA"
If there are around 10 cars or more, it is faster for me to change country of all the Chevy Nova with year >=1985 instead of editing them one by one

Well it is not useful to comment those for which I can do the renaming using few rules. We just had to find what are the rules :grin:

e.g. if we have to add Civic in front of all CRX, it is easy. Then few (japanese) would have to be modified one by one. For me it is easy to first do the mass-change.

t0nkatracker

If no one objects I would like to start commenting on these to update the model name. At the same time I can fix any Trim or year ranges

t0nkatracker

i guess we'll wait for his opinion on the matter then :wink:

antp

I guess we can rename them if nobody disagrees... I'll still ask Exiv96 to comment on that subject, as he knows Japanese cars pretty well.

t0nkatracker

any decisions ?
