The '''Honda CRX''', originally launched as the '''Honda Ballade Sports CRX''' in Japan, was a
compact sports car manufactured by [[Honda]]. The first generation CRX was sold in some regions outside Japan as the '''Honda Civic CRX'''. The name "CRX" and what it stands for is widely disputed, the more popular meaning is "Civic Renaissance Model X", although some believe it is an acronym for "Civic racing experiment".
