        ^^^^^^ The CRX Si is nicknamed the Bomber, as it is a fairly
sporty grin-producing machine. (Does very well in SCCA Solo II Autocross,
for example, and is a lot of fun to drive on twisty roads, I understand.)

	One of the latest issues of one of the car magazines (Car and
Driver or Road and Track or Automobile, I can't recall which), had a 
photo and sidebar about this. The "Stealth Bomber" featured in the ad
is a fiberglass/plywood/? mockup that was done as a "design concept"
model or something like that. I believe the sidebar said something about
having shot the ad and commercial somewhere down near the Cape, for the
cloud formations...
