Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
Because it hasn't been made in almost 10 years.
Because it was expensive.
Because it didn't keep up with competitors in terms of styling & technology.
Because it was imported from Japan and immediate supply was lower.
Because it was mechanically and spiritually replaced with the modern Acura RSX and Honda S2000.
Because LOL is not a sentence.

CR-X was out of production longer
The 4th gen was ahead of the times IMO in its styling and technology

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
Iv alwaysss asked this question!!. My friend always says tegs are more popular and better.
I dont under stand. 4th gens ARE ahead of there time.
The 94+ cluster looks amazing.
It has a 190hp tourqe engine. (vtec version)
looks good.
But in my area you can get one for 3-4k in good condition.
gsrs are like 5-8k in good condition.
I dont understand?? Tegs arent even have the car of the prelude and dont even look good.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
5th gen is great, I especially love the fact that they ONLY come with H22 engines, how ever many are auto =[, I love the back of the 97+ but love the mean jdm look of the front of the 92+ prelude, I saw a picture of a 97 lude with 92 front end, it was the sexiest thing in the world.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
Never a prelude fan but not a hater. Isn't the balancing shaft kind of inefficient in the H22? The only interior I'm familiar with is the 92-96. Its a cool cockpit like design for a sporty car. Why I'm more of a fan of the Civic is its spartan interior and true sports compact classification. My Egs are economy cars w/ dual cam motors that were designed for power and speed w/o the slightest hint at luxury. Thats what I'm getting at, the Prelude was a much more upscale car for a more refined taste. I agree with the point that it was replaced soundly with the S2000 in branding.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
I was talking about the s2k man, they rev a littlle past 9k so I just rounded up lol. My point was that they dont really have low end power.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
any h22 has more bottom end torque than any stock b series ever thought about having. I've heard it called the big block of all dohc vtec 4 cyl engines<--- honda tuning.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?
No I know, Im more into rare cars, Im not a big fan a of gsr or whatever, Honda prelude vtecs are probably one of the most rare hondas. 300zx's.rx7's,mr2 turbos,3000gt's all those things, they are 20 years old but still cost the same as a 2 year old civic si lol.

Re: Why is the Prelude so unpopular?

The Prelude will never return. UNLESS our economy does a 180 and the demand for a two door Hybrid- 250whp sports coupe returns, I'll sell everything I own and my left nut for one.
