Yea, I heard something about that. Honda could use a new technology mule.
I say more 4gen styling. Bring back the long-flat headlamps that graced the 4 gen ludes and integras. Don't make it tall and boxy like the RSX. Low and sleek, like the prelude always was. I just think I'm dreaming now.

i was talking to my friend and he says its almost definate they wil come out with a new lude, and he says a car by honda is never dead. Just take the s2000's for example....they used to be the s800 or something...and then htey said they were gonna stop and 15 years later...what do we have....the s2000's...which is same thing....so by the same token even if honda says theyll stop production itll proly start up with a new model....the only factor is time.

A 5th gen with more aggressive styling and long flat R34 inspired headlights.
That's what I would like see. Honda needs a sport coupe that is light on its feet. Not the accord coupe. I would love to see the accord coupe die and a rear wheel drive prelude fill its place. Maybe even something with s2000 or NSX inspired internals.

I bet every lude owner on earth would spring for a RWD version if they had the funds.
Just the thought of it makes me feel this void in my chest. The feeling of longing.

I personally like the latest style of the prelude (5th gen, right?) alot, I do like the 4th gen too though, if im right about the 97+ being the 5th.
and anybody else notice the badging on that lude drawing in this post?

Maybe that's where all the failed honda designers go.

Least he tried.. The car in that drawing looks like a Hyundai though.
Maybe that's where all the failed honda designers go. HAHA!  Anyways, rwd prelude will be very cool, but i think that they should keep the tail lights like the original. I like 4th gen headlights the best or if not have em like the 2nd and 3rd gen. BTW isnt the Accord like the first honda car made? If it is, i think thats the reason why its still in production. But a theres so much models being made, i hate that and they should keep it like it is right now.

the reason the accord is in still production and not the prelude is all due to sales. the accord has been a best seller for years and years and it's honda's bread and butter car. without it, honda would stand to lose a lot of money. same with the civic. i forget the name of the first honda car in the states, but i know it wasn't the accord. over the last several years the prelude on the other hand has been a dismal failure when we're talking about sales. honda lost a lot of money on the 5th gen. sales were on a decline ever since the mid 90's and never picked back up. i think in 01 honda sold less than 9,000 preludes. it's quite obvious why honda cut the cord on the prelude. it was a money pit. too expensive for the car that it is. particularly when you're competing with cars that cost thousands less and offered a similar or better all around package. the prelude is a great car no doubt, one of honda's best offerings ever. but even that's not enough to keep a car afloat these days. sorry for the rant!
