That's also how I remember it. Especially the economy/MPG.
EDIT: I remember watching and waiting for the big three to come out with something that could compete. The Chevy Citation was a disappointment. The Ford Escort/Mercury Lynx was the first car that I thought actually *competed* with the imports on their own terms, but it still fell way short of the 1st Gen CRX. I even have a picture of a Lynx add where a Lynx is holding the earth in it's paws. I should go find it and scan it.
