The '18 - '22 Accord 2.0T was so good and quick followed by the very tepid 204hp '23 Accord, with no upgraded engine option. I don't like their new direction. This Prelude looks good but if they don't inject some seriously needed power under the hood, they would be making a huge mistake in my opinion.

I always believed this was gonna be an EV but you telling me this is a hybrid and mentioning the possibility of an SI or Type R had gotten me really really interested in this. Man, I want one so bad right now. This car is so stunning. One more thing: given this and the Prologue have that new lighting set up at the back, and the lights on this Prelude look different from the 11th gen Civic and Accord, is it possible that this is a foreshadowing of Honda's design language for the 12th gen cars? Will they start spelling out Honda at the back of all of them? Hmmm
@animalpeeps11 ай бұрын
I feel the bar taillight on the Prelude is awesome. I think they based a lot of this body from the 10th gen Civic coupe, so I think the bar taillight naturally stayed with the body design. I love the look of the lights on this, especially how they brought the bar light design to the front. If this thing is a hatch, whewww. I've wished my 10th gen coupe was a hatch sometimes, because I've always felt that a hatch on a coupe looks so good, plus with how practical they can be. I feel this is what the 11th gen Civic coupe could (should) have been - but when they cancelled the 10th gen coupe, and subsequently had only the hatch and sedans for the 11th gen, I lost hope lol. But when the Integra was first announced, I was so excited that maybe they will continue on the coupe and release it as the Integra. But again I was disappointed lmao. But seeing the Prelude now, they've totally created the car I was hoping they would make. It's actually pretty cool they decided to revive their coupe via the Prelude name. This is a much better use of the names of cars than when they first released the new Integra imo 😅 But maybe I'm also just coupe biased lool

It'd be silly for Honda not to make a Prelude Type R with this new platform and overall look. It would be an absolute beast, especially if it's all-wheel drive.

Front wheel drive hybrid civic power train. That's not a bad thing, just was hoping it would be tuned to be a bit more powerful and AWD available

Your prediction was correct ! It appears to be coming in 2025 ! The car I should have purchased in 1978, now I will.

The fact they resurrected the prelude nameplate means it’s almost certainly coming back and honestly I couldn’t be more excited, I currently drive a 2009 V6 accord coupe and I’m happy to see that I won’t have to drive a 20+ year old car to have a stylish front drive 2-door Honda

Am interested to know where they want this to compete. Will they really jazz up their hybrid drivetrain to make this a Supra/Z competior? Or will this me more like an 86/BRZ deal? In any case, Im excited for it. Hope we get more info on it soon.
@chrisaguilar625 Жыл бұрын
It’s going to compete to the 86/Brz most likely, I don’t see Honda trying to compete with the Supra/Z, those type of coupes are not selling, and are being marked up trying to sell to an idiot with money lol

Haha, I have a 2019 370z in white with black wheels and I also see many shape cues that are similar. I’m just glad they made it look good!! The integra (sold my perfect stock 1998 integra last year) was horrific. I thought it was incredibly ugly.

Looks a bit big and heavy, BUT it is sooo refreshing to see a car without a huge flat front end and oversized grille, (like the Integra and basically everything else on the market rn). Also just so nice to see a coupe again! And this looks damn near production ready.

Always bringing it joe. Good to see this and other name plates are coming back, but it's such a pitty it's in this day and age where ICE cars and Manual transmissions are dying out..

I currently own a White 2013 Civic Coupe SI, still in good condition. This is what I wanted my next Honda to look like. I did not like the 10th generation nor 11th generation Civics at all. I really like the Prelude. Its looks like a natural evolution of my current car. I only fear they might not give it a manual transmission.

Why does the front end look so identical to the Prius? 🧐
