I dug out the article for the second-generation HONDA CIVIC CRX HF.The article appears in the November issue,AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE,page 93. The CRX got an all-new "gently-tapered" body.The HF scored a Cd0.29 due to it's "skinny tires".The wheel-base was stretched 3.9 inches(97.5mm),a wider track,and a 2-inch(50mm) lower hood-line.The rear deck was raised 2-inches(50mm),and a "secondary" backlite was added for parking visibility.New headlights were flush and steeply-raked,and shorter,allowing the lower hood.Front airdam was moved forward.Side-view mirrors are a bit smaller and slicker.That's it! EPA 55 mpg-HWY. No mention of effect of rear windshield wiper on Si.
