Accord coupe is pretty much the same thing.
>>
>>14272637
It is. On paper. Drive a 4th or 5th gen prelude then any accord coupe and you'll see they have nothing in common other than the configuration and badge. The prelude was low, wide and planted. The accord coupe is a sedan with 2 doors missing, it's soft and not engaging to drive
>>
>>14272987
The accord coupe is 3" wider though, and only 6" taller.

Reminder that anything good from the 80s and 90s that were discontinued would come back today as, as computer controlled sub two-ton as you can get. The Prelude would come back if they wanted it to (sans the name 'Prelude', that would make no sense), but it would be a FWD, only 2WS J powered CVT or 6MT. If it's anything like the Accord, it's not going to be as fun as its predecessors.

The fifth gen at it's heaviest was 3000 pounds, I can't imagine how much all the safety and computerized shit would weigh a modern Prelude down. God forbid it'd be a Euro designed Honda. The EP3 was good, fuck everything else though.

Well, I'm okay with it. /o/ treats the Prelude like America treated it: No praise, but no real malice either. Just kind of there.

I kinda miss those sporting fwd coupes in general to be hinest. It wasn't so long ago that the market was full of the damn things - Ford Cougar and Puma, Alfa GTV, FIAT Coupe, Peugeot 406 Coupe, Toyota Celica, Hyundai Coupe/Tiburon...

Then the whole class just sort of gradually disappeared. All I can think of that's left are the Scirocco and the TC, and the former's just a 3 door hatch with a slopey roofline and the latter apparently drives like poop.

I appreciate that they were a bit of an acquired taste, but the automotive world's a bit less rich for their not being in it.

4WS is the thing I hated most about preludes, especially now as they've gotten older. Making the car RWD would make it weigh just as much as keeping it FWD with 4WS

>RWD
way to miss the point
no thanks dude
>>
>>14277515
I'm not arguing for RWD, I just think the 2WS variants are much better because they're lighter and less likely to shit out on you. I did like the 3rd gen with its mechanical 4ws, though

Yeah, my '88 Si was my first car. It was Red/Black, 5spd and had an exhaust. There was shit for performance parts for the 3rd gen Lude back in the day. This was back before digital cameras so my pics are on film and I don't have a scanner.

Other than most of what's been mentioned, Supra, Prelude, etc, I'd like to see this make a comeback. Honda has hinted at bringing the S660 statesite and putting in a turbo'd 1.0L, but I don't think they'll do it either.
