Pipe Dream or a Prelude Possibility?? First Look

#review #hondacivicsi #hondacivictyper #savethemanuals #electriccar #hybridcar #honda #vtec #jdm
Honda debuted the all new long awaited Prelude successor this week at the LA Auto show - a hybrid electric sporty coupe! They remained fairly quiet since the Japanese mobility show, but everyone that has seen it agrees it looks production ready!
We look at footage from some of our favourite reviewers, like Alex on Autos, Raiti's Rides and Redline Reviews to go over the facts as we know them, and talk about this exciting new prospect from Honda!
We also talk about our past experience with the now classic 2001 Type SH, in combination with our recent drives enthusiast EV's like the nimble Mini Cooper SE and the exhilarating Kia EV6 GT.
Come go down memory lane with me and see if this concept will live up to the iconic badge that resides on the back! if you stay the end I show Honda's teaser press release with big updates for NA on whether or not the Prelude is a possibility for 2026 - let's start saving up!

I love the look of this car! I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a 6-speed version and then I may consider trading my 5-speed Civic for one. Honda has offered manual Hybrids in the past with the Insight, Civic and CRZ (granted the IMA system was more of a 'mild-hybrid' so the gas motor ran all the time) so here's hoping they pull that off again!
Regardless, just like bringing back the Integra name for Acura's compact hatch, bringing back the Prelude name on a true, modern, coupe and not some crossover (looking at you Mitsubishi Eclipse) really makes this Honda fan boy happy.

Me too!!

Needs to have a exhaust! Imagine how beefy that car would look if it had one. I'll stick with my GR86!

[@Neutralreviews]

Agree. I love exhaust. Did you upgrade your GR?

I crashed my Prelude back in the day. Horrible fish tailing car. Way too front heavy with no traction. I like the new one though. Let's guess how much it will cost. Hmmm about $70K lol

[@Neutralreviews]

Who knows anymore lol. I saw a FL5 selling for $100k!! And you were right about the tail happy lol
