    I love it and I can't wait to drive one 10 years from now.

      My thought as well. My first and favorite car was a used '91 Prelude with 4WS. It was awesome.

    Prelude was always my favorite Honda car. Well, of the standard models. S2000 and especially the NSX are in leagues of their own. I don't know much about hybrids, but do we know if it's a plug-in...

    Prelude was always my favorite Honda car. Well, of the standard models. S2000 and especially the NSX are in leagues of their own.

    I don't know much about hybrids, but do we know if it's a plug-in hybrid or not? Just curious.

    Anyway, on one hand, I only have two more payments on my 2021 Civic! Maybe I trade-in/sell this car for a Prelude. Though on the other...do I really want more car payments? As a single guy, with no kids, wouldn't mind a fun sporty car to drive around. We'll see.

      They say it's the same system as the CRV (and some others) but it looks like Honda does not sell a plug in hybrid version of the CRV in North America. So reading between the lines a bit... regular...

      I wouldn't say it'll be a regular hybrid with absolute certainty though.

    Gah. I would love a short-range / lighter-weight two seat BEV sport coupe from Honda. I know their net zero target is farther out than I would like to see. It makes me so sad to see that we're...

    Gah. I would love a short-range / lighter-weight two seat BEV sport coupe from Honda. I know their net zero target is farther out than I would like to see.

    It makes me so sad to see that we're still introducing new vehicles to the market with internal combustion engines, even in a hybrid format.

    That all aside, I'm glad to see the marque return and I hope it does well. I wish I could morally justify buying one myself, but I cannot.

    As a non car fan, usually the only thing I ask about someone's new car is "what colour is it". There have only been two models of cars that I can instinctively catch out of the corner of my eye...

    As a non car fan, usually the only thing I ask about someone's new car is "what colour is it". There have only been two models of cars that I can instinctively catch out of the corner of my eye and identify and follow until it's out of sight: the fifth gen Prelude, and the Nissan 350Z/370Z.

    I hope other Prelude fans like this new concept 6th gen better than I do. Maybe it has more continuity than I can appreciate, eg designers, teams, engine, etc.
