The 25 Best Japanese Sports Cars Ever Made

10. Honda CR-X

The Honda CR-X was a small, nimble sports car built by Honda from 1984 to 1991. The CR-X was marketed as an economy sports car and was praised for its performance, nimble handling, and good fuel economy. The first generation was well received, but the second generation was the most popular model. The engine in the second generation CR-X was Honda’s popular B16A VTEC engine. This engine utilized variable valve timing to give it a power boost in higher rpm ranges. The power output of the engine was 148 horsepower. This was the second vehicle made by Honda to have VTEC built into it. The CR-X is another sports car that is incredibly popular with tuners. The engine is usually replaced with a larger Acura Integra engine and equipped with a turbo charger. Even today, over twenty years after the last CR-X was produced, the vehicle remains a popular choice for street racers.
