What's the difference?
Both generations had the same body style. The only significant thing I could see was the change from recessed to flared aero-headlights on the 2Gen model.

Can't make out much of the writing on the right, except for "CRX" and "81 Exclusive", but, First, the obvious....it's a right-hand drive model for either the British/Australian or JDM markets. Second, from the headlights, it's a 2Gen model, not 1Gen. Third, though I'm not positive about that, it appears to have Recaro seats inside. Fourth, the alloy wheels indicate it is probably an Si derivitive. Fifth, it seems to have a tiny rear seat (totally unfit for adults) or package shelf, which is quite unusual for a CRX.

Not at all the same, totally different cars. Look carefully, no common body parts. 2nd gen was substantially bigger and sleeker.

With those options, this could almost be considered a luxury car for the time. Leather interior, glass roof, climate control, cd-player, etc. Its a pretty good list, I imagine that the Legend at the same time didn't come with all of those options.
I would love to have a white crx with that glass roof (tinted as dark as possible), interior leather wrapped just like that but in black with a b18c5 or a jdm b18c (type r not the gsr b18c). That would be king
