According to our handy-dandy Cd list in the Wiki section:
Honda CRX 1984 - 1987 0.32Cd | 18.3sq.ft | 5.84CdA
Honda CRX 1988 - 1991 0.30Cd | 18.6 sq.ft | 5.57CdA
Honda CRX HF 1988 - 1991 0.29Cd | 18.6sq.ft | 5.39CdA

Whipping out the ol' calculator tells me that the Gen1 only has 3.6 sq. inches less frontal area than Gen 2, correct? That wouldn't seem like something to shake a stick at to me - less than a passenger mirror for sure. I'd just as soon assume for this argument that Gen1 and 2 have the same frontal area......decisions!
