Does Honda CRX hatch angle match the template?
Just curious, did a search and couldn't find anything, but it seems pretty good according to other information.
Am considering one, possibly as a specific aero project if cheap enough and a friend has just wiped out her car and will be in need of a replacement, although the two seat thing may be an issue.
Any other recommendations for a good cheap aero base vehicle, +/-10yo ?

No, its a bit too steep. My Scion xA matches it 100% perfectly. Take a look at my fuel logs. CRX averaged 32.61, my Scion getting 34.51...

Far as I can tell it was sold here in Oz as Toyota Echo or Yaris, generally quote around 39mpg (6-6.1l/100km).
Didn't look too much at the detail, but the later Yaris did get the small lip on the end of roof over the hatch and generally quotes better economy figures, but also some changes to drive train.
The roof profile definately looks more like the template, funny the steeper roof like the CRX always looks more aero, maybe like the Mitsu Evo it needs VG's on the roof to keep air attached down the big slide.
The Toyota was a big seller here so plenty to choose from.

Crx
Neither the 1st,or 2nd-gen CRX hatch fit the 'Template'.They're both a little too 'fast.'

I use Picasa to edit my piccies. I use the "Straighten" tool and it has guidelines so you can line things up. Picasa is a free program from Google.

Were you talking about lining up the image or physically lining up stuff on yer vehicle?
Most of mine were from measurements and estimations when I was doing my aero mods. I make adjustments as I need to...
