Tech being 25yrs old doesnt mean it was GOOD then. Forms of AI have bene around since the 80's but its just finaly at a semi useful state.

Sadly few will have manual, or be light and tossble, or has a SOLID DCT to make up for not being manual.

The Corvette also has a big v8. The Miata is 2,745 and the BRZ/86 is 2800lbs

Thats not how Honda has ever worked historically. They show off VERY much what they intend to produce. Look at all the panel lines, the body looks like it’s already production ready and they are just finishing the interior.

I felt the front was very CR-Z looking.

They already have the EV Prologue.

If they told me this was a manual Hybrid with the S/R engine or that it was using say a 2.4l version of the S/R engine with AWD and a DCT I’d be ALL over it.

I like the looks but unless its a manual with a Type-R/S engine, or a great Hybrid setup I just have no interest in it. I’ve never found any EV to be a fun drive. They all feel way to heavy to be fun on twisty roads, and even if they do somehow make it light it just means the range will suck.

Accord Coupe - “Killed due to sales”
Civic Coupe - “Killed due to sales”

With how production ready the car looked to people at the show people are already expecting a release for the ‘25 model year release. Its not like Honda is going to show off the Prelude then wait for the whole current Gen Civics and Integra to run its course before releasing it. Showing off a car 5-6 years early is…

A 3 starts under 30K and a performance 40K. That’s well in the range of what a Honda can be when the Si is 30K.

Everything ive seen from other sites was that if not for the blacked out interior it looks near production ready. Which means this does have a platform.

My gripe is they killed the Civic Coupe and refused to make an Integra coupe with the excuse of “coupes don’t sell” and “well we don’t have a 2 door platform anymore” and now they show this off. To me it just feels like they were lying to our faces and really just wanted to protect Prelude sales. It gives the…

Now haw many Integra haters would have bene happy if this was the Integra and it had the Type-S drivetrain?

Until we see price you have no idea how attainable it is or how it performs against any other EV. It wont matter if its a little cheaper than a 3 but BARELY out handles it and has less range as the 3 would end up being more usable as a daily car as it seats 4.

The excuse for not 2 door integra was that there was no 2 door platform to use. Now we see there was a 2 door platform. So it makes me wonder if there was no 2 door Integra specifically to prevent it from killing Prelude sales.

My best in a 90's compact was 135mph in a Ford Escort ZX2 that had some engine/suspension work. Best in my Mustang is 160, but its electronic limited. The Escort didn’t feel bad at that speed. Just unsafe due to how little it weighed I knew it would crumple like a tin can.

My 2019 Bullitt was 50k. Now a loaded EcoBoost is 49k, and a GT with the SAME options I have are 60k while making the same power and aren’t even a “limited run” package.

I remember the SRT-4 guys insisting its NOT a NEON as the car doesn’t say NEON anyplace on it. it just happen to have a NOEN interior and body but it was an SRT-4. lol

Those were the guys that were cranking the boost and calling it a day. They didn’t have a built engine so they were just fine at stock boost, but going over that by much would start causing issues.

No one ever remembers the ZX2 S/R, the Mazdaspeed Protege, or the Protege MP3
