Re: old dude's lude

200hp is nothing, considering cars like the Mitsubishi Starion and Toyota Supra have been making over that mark since the late 80's. By the time the Honda Prelude came out with VTEC, most other companies have been in the field for several years. Now think back to the early to mid nineties, when the 4th gens were already out and Honda was in the process of designing the 5th gens. This was back before the height of ricer explosion. Consider the features that the Prelude has: Front wheel drive, Sportshift, ABS, all power options...

I'm not saying that Preludes are girly cars, or that demographics cannot change; which it certainly has passed on to the hands of younger male owners. I'm just saying that Honda had the intention of selling more Preludes to older and mature buyers, and females. It's an easy to drive car, with alot of luxuries.
