its true! and they are gonna bring back the CRX too! 
Haha, reminds me of the episode post-seinfeld era days when kramer was racing another insight on the streets of NY.
It definately has potential, I mean, drop the 300+lbs of batteries out back and throw in a b16 and get rid of the rear wheel body covers and you have yourself a sweeeeeeeet 21st century CRX

Well, no one has stopped to consider the power potential of what's already under the hood.
The IMA works like a supercharger - supplying gobs of low end torque. I say replace the piston 1.3 with a Rotary and keep the IMA - Give the rotary the power it needs down low and the endless upper-end.
IMA is setup now for reliability and longevity - as all motors are when they are produced. BY simply changing the "fuel map" (You know... Telling it to do more) with a chip you can see some power. Electric motors that large are capable of 200+ lbs/ft of torque.
B16s aren't

Yeah but just think of all the weight you'd be saving by swapping a decent motor in there

Why does everybody love the B16? I know it is awesome engine, but the K series is the best engine Honda ever made. Let the bashing begin, but how can improving on the original VTEC be bad? Like Calesta says, until the aftermarket parts pick up, people won't like the engine. BTW, that CRX is fucking sick.
