Auto Express is predicting the return of the CRX badge when the next generation of Civics appear in model year 2006. The article references an exclusive spyshot in the print edition.

Also mentioned is that 3-door, 5-door and a "high-performance flagship coupe" (badged CRX) are planned and "all versions are certain to get Type R models".

Finally, the article reports that the 5-door Civic will use a lot of the innovative packaging ideas that debuted in the Jazz/Fit, including the "magic" folding rear seat in the rear.

According to AutoExpress UK~
There's nothing civilised about the new Civic. With the emphasis firmly on making its family hatchback more sporty than ever, Honda has radical plans for the next-generation car - and they include bringing back the CRX badge.

The mag's exclusive spy picture reveals what the all-new model will look like, and shows another interpretation of the Civic shape that has evolved over the past 30 years. The front end will be more rakish, while the current version's MPV-like styling will be smoothed out into a more conventional hatchback form.

While both three and five-door variants are expected to be available from launch - set for 2006 - Honda is also said to be planning a high-performance flagship coup
