No surprise I like me Evoque, reminds me of the old Honda Civic CRX

In the back of my mind, I always knew I was drawn to the Evoque Coupe because it reminded me of my old CRX from back school.

Ironically, I just happened to walk out of the parking lot and see this photo opp. Had to snap a photo and share. If you're too a fan of the CRX and Evoque, hopefully you'll enjoy.

I was quite surprised at the size difference. For some reason, I always think of the Evoque as being small. I think that's because we replaced our LR4 with one.

But seeing them side-by-side help realign my distorted visual perception and reaffirmed suspicions about my attraction. The visual similarities between the two designs are obvious. Don't you think?

Even more ironic, the CRX I had decades ago was also white.

No going back though, that's for sure!

We have recently changed from a Freelander (LR2) to the Evoque and that does make the Evoque seem like a small car.

You hardly ever see a CRX here these days. If I recall correctly, they were way more expensive to buy here than in the US.

I remember seeing lots of them weaving around slower traffic on the freeways on one of my trips to the US years ago. They were great little cars. Only wish I could have afforded to buy one back then!

There was an even smaller version than that one too the Mk1 CRX - that looks like the Mk2. Mk3 was an awful thing that had a removable roof section and now there is the CRZ................

I have owned both a MK2, and a MK3 the one with the removable roof. Both of them were great little pocket rockets.

In fact I kept the CRX VTI MK 3 one, for over 11 years, before I sold it for a Porsche.

MK 2 :Removed

Mk 3 : Removed
