The production of the Prelude did not definitely conclude in 1978.

[@CarConfections]

@@tropicalstorm339 began is what I meant. Sorry for the brain fart.

[@bobbywilson5664]

so Honda is coming back to sports car again! Front side looks like a Nissan 400z, rear side profile it looks like the Infinity G37 and the rear is very much like Mitsubishi Eclipse with a touch of Porsche Taycan rear light bar. I think is about time for Honda to come back with a decent sports car, let’s hope they release it.

[@goldpony]

I feel like all my friends had a Prelude back in high school while I had an RSX. Back end looks brilliant! I think I agree with you guys on what the powerplant may be but definitely excited for this one! Appreciate the look!

[@Ao400]

loved my type s in hs!

[@jwiggins1112]

I felt this way when the 10th Gen Honda Civic Coupe was first announced in that lime Green! I got one fully loaded the first year they released...looks like Ill be trading my 1st love for this new Beauty!!! Cant wait for official specs! 1st time on this channel...Great Review!!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!

[@astralartist4]

2019 coupe new to 2023 spt trg hatch .. BACK TO THE COUPE/PRELUDE NEXT!!!

[@a32tl]

I always loved the Prelude. I owned a 1980 Prelude, a 1988 Prelude Si 4WS and a 1994 Prelude VTEC. I would highly consider this Prelude if Honda doesn’t wimp out on it and offer an under performing power train. Please Honda, I’m begging. Give it at LEAST 240hp!!

[@hunterhoward3273]

Ive had 3 preludes. I absolutely love the wide body 2nd gen with the futuristic dash. Two 92's and a 93. They come back with a new 2025 this will be the first brand new car Ill buy. Hopefully they come out soon and don't disappoint on the interior! Hopefully they change their minds on the ev.

[@matchamate]

It's giving such clean cyberpunk vibes. I love it!

[@hassankanani]

Look forward to seeing this car in person!

[@darriontunstall3708]

It’s very nice! It’s nice that it’s coming back, it looks good

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video as always!

[@xJuanRicoSuavex]

Needs an exhaust pipe. Preferably 2

[@tahran5782]

I can't wait for the new Honda prelude and the new Honda prologue as well

[@xena222]

I LOVED my 89 prelude si with 4ws! My favorite car! The back end is the most reminiscent part on this new model ❤ I'm not crazy about the hybrid model...

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

Great review

[@GospelMusicFan-zo8cw]

Please Honda bring back the manual for this legend. Also, how about the dash throwback design cues to the fourth gen prelude with the digital long wrap dash and gauges.

[@pbsCB21]

If this is a true hyrbid… combustion + electric with paddle shifting I will 100% pre order it brand new

[@pbsCB21]

@@ghrtt7 lol touché 😂

[@amill1563]

Thank you Car Confessions. You have to wonder if Honda could make any money on these with the popularity of crossovers, suv's, and the like. It seems 2 door sporty sedans won't sell well.

[@mariahensley4042]

Can't wait to see what mods these guys gonna do on this beauty....lol

[@loualoupis1258]

Any word on a 2025 Element? If so, please share any information as I am waiting for it to come back. I owned a 2008 for so many years and still regret selling it and I can't wait to buy a new iteration of one hopefully in the next year or two.

[@truckerallister9080]

i always drove the Prelude and started with the 78 model till the last one, the best one i had was the 91 EX long hood, just loved it, but as soon as they stopped the sleeping lights, it was done for me didn't look good anymore

[@andrewchapman1494]

God I hope this thing is real. And if it's real, I hope it's positioned to compete with the likes of the BR-Z/86. An affordable coupe from Honda would be fantastic. I'm also interested in the hybrid drive train. I think hybrid tech is criminally under-utilized in the consumer market, but hopefully the hybridization doesn't make the car super expensive.

[@KEVIN88GT]

Hate to be that guy but have you seen the pricing on the integra Type S?

[@marktevault57]

I agree. No EVs

[@yimpyoi9808]

@@KEVIN88GT the integra type s is the most expensive trim of the civics luxury equivalent, not at all comparable.

[@KEVIN88GT]

@@yimpyoi9808 you missed the point. It's not even competitive pricing in its segment hence the prelude won't be a value peoposion or even a good deal.

[@ipaulosan]

Build and bring it to market as is.

[@giovannigottii2590]

I love it and want it.

[@Tigerex966]

If it has Honda's excellent manual. LSD trick front suspension. A type r version maybe with eawd and hybrid plus he 2.0 turbo will be great. Don't be afraid of a great exhaust and tips.

[@lonelystarproject1450]

NO EV's. NO CVT's.

[@txivneeghmoobmeskas4930]

Is this vehicle has the junkies 1.5 earthdream turbo charge oil dilution engine

[@cuteboysss]

What that mean?

[@micheletumbarello5162]

Yes and yes, if honda develops a good software to refine driving feelings, like hyundai did with ioniq 5n

[@wltdo6930]

Nice looking car👌

[@giovannispano9198]

Fantastica 👍👍👏👏🙏

[@nateisright]

Needs a K24 or 4 cam J series and six speed

[@bidensucks6792]

Glad to see it returning to the road. Unfortunately it looks more like a Toyota Prius and Nissan Z got together and had a baby more than anything from Honda though.

[@SVTMAN717]

The EV is okay with me, but I want AWD and 4WS. Make a crazy fun EV or Hybrid. Bring back the 4WS Honda!

[@gambit_toys6554]

It's gonna have the Civic Hybrid 2.0 Liter drivetrain. Maybe with a few more HP. It may have Medium Power, but the MPG's will be 40-50. It's no CRZ, it will be quicker.

[@lukysko558]

Please make it a sport sedan too 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Cerby1979]

If this Prelude is an EV or a Hybrid, there’ll be no manual transmission available.

[@Clovud]

If this is real... then I will wait another year and buy this car. I was going for the corolla, but maybe I should wait and buy this one instead

[@richardsmith579]

I hate those flush door handles. They make it more difficult and clumsy to open a door, and they aren’t reliable. Honda already has very convenient and simple handles, just improve on those and leave a mechanism created for expensive sports cars in the ‘50s to people who think complicated inconvenience is entertaining. This is just a fashion thing.

[@cecilthecavetroll9743]

Preludes have always had some sort of flushed door handles from generations 1-5.

[@Anhedonis]

Um, the LEGEND returns? I hope so.

[@TheDaizM]

That’s looking like it’s going to be expensive

[@pbsCB21]

All US sources say $31-$38k

[@chronos4573]

This looks like a modified Acura Integra badge engineered as a Honda Prelude....which is based on the Civic platform. That front blue accent lighting probably wont make it past concept.

[@PlasmadaeDal]

What you're seeing is beautiful Honda DNA ;) I can see some Honda S2K vibes too

[@cecilthecavetroll9743]

Quite being pretentious with your whole “badge engineering” claim, because if isn’t true. Badge engineering is simply passing off the same exact car under a new moniker. Whereas here, this prelude isn’t comparable at all to anything Honda/Acura is currently selling.

[@thisandthat8686]

Truly the 2 door Prius

[@KedarThapa-rn8di]

Bro Honda civic hybrid coming or not?

[@CarConfections]

Confirmed now for 2025 model year

[@Dano-MX5]

First of I am a Honda/Acura fan boy. I have owned many, including 4 S2000s, several Accords, Civics, TLs, and an RDX. But this Prelude doesn’t have me running to the dealership to inquire about it. It looks like the new Prius in the front, which is a good thing, but doesn’t illicit the passion in me required for this car to succeed, at least in my opinion. I am sure it is “Honda competent” but my initial reaction is … meh. Maybe when I see one in person that will change.

[@doughnut5871]

Without a standard moonroof, this will never be a real Prelude!

[@stevesammyb]

look like a 10th civic coupe !

[@cecilthecavetroll9743]

not exactly.

[@thisandthat8686]

The Prius coupe

[@richscott2483]

The 2025 Prelude would have been nicer as a 4 door sedan rather than a coupe.

[@mariahensley4042]

I know!

[@ToallpointsWest]

It reminds me of a Datsun

[@mariahensley4042]

Ahhh...Datsun, i remember that car!

[@MrGtronx]

2 motors means what... AWD?

[@cecilthecavetroll9743]

2 hybrid electric motors to accompany the gas motor

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

I hope in Europe

[@astralartist4]

Hatcbk lease over april 26’ - NEXT!!

[@PTL4OSAS]

A stunning vehicle that nobody's been asking for. IMHO this is a stupid decision by HMC.

[@billyadams-hc6or]

So Honda is building a Audi TT

[@Stevespecs]

If its an EV, no thanks

[@cecilthecavetroll9743]

Its a hybrid. It will still have an ICE engine.

[@mehsan2232]

Still the old prelude look nice This one looks like porche

[@tonyn3227]

No guarantee this will ever come to usa.

[@OutdoorHorizonsWK2]

I bet this will sell so incredibly well (sarcasm).

[@jpack85]

That trunk opening looks rather pathetic. I'd love to see this offered as a hatch to make it more usable. Count me among those who'd like a 6 or 7 speed manual trans. Please don't make this a CVT for heaven's sake!

[@TKO25188]

Front look weak. Honda unable decide if passenger or sporty car design.

[@mauriciomendez1912]

It looks like what it's price point will be! IMHO the BRZ/86 look better and are RWD... Hopefully Honda build as sport cars are quickly becoming extinct!!!

[@thebigone6969]

That tiny car can’t fit a large and in charge chocolate queen like myself! No way all my wiggle, jiggle and everything in the middle gonna get inside that little thing! Just buy me a Bimmer or Benz boo!!!!

[@andrewgus8763]

Why does every new car’s front end look like a Prius? Huge turnoff

[@ZACH_95_]

That don’t look like a Prius at all.. 💀🤣🤣

[@Bigjohn928]

No one will buy if you put EV or Hybrid.. 2.0 turbo with direct shift gear box or 6 speed manual is Honda fans love!

[@daishingkwok8716]

no 1care anymore at this point, oh its a good car???like type R? 20000 over MSRP here you go

[@keithjackson4985]

Hopefully, we get a version with the civic type r drivetrain? I'd sell meth for that!😮

[@nateisright]

The rear is very Porsche.

[@brettfine3444]

Hey Honda, why not make it a powerful EV? I will definitely buy it if it is electrified.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Ah, Honda! They're known for their reliable and efficient cars, just like Nissan. Honda has a great lineup of vehicles, from the sporty Civic to the versatile CR-V and the stylish Accord. If there's a specific Honda model or feature you're interested in, let me know and I'll do my best to give you more information! 🚗😄

[@dolarizacionenaccion790]

The quick answer in NO. As it is usual with honda, this car will be late to the party, overengineered, undepowered, overpriced, full of recalls, with outdated technology, and horrible resale values. Don't get your hopes up!

[@THEBIGCHULETA]

I find it very underwhelming. I prefer that my vehicles run on dead dinosaurs.
