I'm going to guess that the Honda CRX was inspired by this Alfa

  2. I guess you mean CR-X.
    But you're 100% right! According to the legend, the CR-X's designer Yoshikazu Kigoshi had an Alfa Romeo GT Junior Zagato like this, and there is the inspiration is coming from.

    However... Well, both cars have Kammback or a Kamm-tail. So it can be a necessary coincidence. Details about Wunibald Kamm and his work in automotive aerodynamics:

    I wish you understand Hungarian, I could recommend you a great video about the CR-X's history on YouTube! (Well, my knowledge about the CR-X is coming from there.) It is released recently on my favorite channel. The presenter is absolutely our kind of guy - a little younger then us -, very precise, very deep knowledge, a true gearhead. He is great even with international standards.
