Honda Sport CR-V and Fit Sport Extreme Concepts

Crvsport310

Honda handed brand-new cars to various aftermarket tuning houses to show off what someone could do to the company’s new Civics, Fits and Elements at this year’s SEMA show, but we’re only interested in what Honda wants to do to these vehicles. I guess we just don’t want to get our own hands dirty. To that point, the company debuted two concepts we think have merit and could enter the lineup relatively soon.

Honda Sport Concept CR-V

We love the looks of this CR-V. The 19-inch wheels and lowered suspension offer an immediate payoff, transforming the “interesting” look of the new CR-V to something that would almost impress a date. Add the requisite body kits (which we could do without) and the high-tech interior from the Civic Si (which we wouldn’t want to go without) and the look is cemented. So what we’re saying is: give us the interior, wheel options and lowered suspension, slap a Sport badge on it and be done.

Honda Fit Sport Extreme Concept

This vehicle has less chance of reaching dealers' lots, with its expensive carbon fiber body panels and track-tuned suspension. The parts needed to turn the Fit into a performance machine like the one here would easily push the cost into the Civic Si realm, and we don’t think many buyers would make that choice. Still, we like the scorched orange metallic color.

This Honda CR-V is shown without a 6 speed manual transmission and with a shifter on the dashboard. How is this sporty? With automatic transmission and not even a sport shift feature, well, it would be similar to driving an appliance!

thats an import car for you!

Toyota has a RAV4 Sport model with an automatic. It is in the suspension, wheels and looks that you get a difference. Most "sport" models don't offer more hp etc. over whatever trim level they come in at. That doesn't mean they're not a popular option for shoppers.
