Civic del Sol

The Honda CR-X del Sol, is marketed in other markets as the Honda Civic del Sol, Honda del Sol, and the Honda CRX. It is a two-seater targa top car manufactured by Honda from 1992 until 1998. Despite the body resemblance to a mid-engine car design, the del Sol is based on the front-engined Honda Civic platform. It was the successor to the Honda CR-X.

The Spanish name del Sol translates to of the sun and refers to the car’s opening roof. The del Sol featured a removable aluminum hardtop. It stowed onto a hinged frame in the trunk and a motorized drop-down rear window. Manual and automatic “TransTop” roofs were available in select markets. It is the first open-air Honda sold in the United States.

Production and sales ended with the 1997 model in North America and 1998 elsewhere.
