yeah the CRX is very light .. the same generation of wagon would most likely be lighter too.. The one think i have noticed on my CRX they really designed the motor in my version for FUel efficiency, its very torque vs high rpm power.. and its grearing mated with that fits really well.. My model is the HF so it was designed for the MPG's not a sporty ride.

Not saying its not fast it is considering it's MPG, but it was engineered for MPG totally.

The Tadpole idea struck my mind also.. ideally thats would be very efficient aerodynamically , however LOTS of work.. and stability comes into play also.. may not be very controllable after lightening the rear end by a few hundred pounds.
