Long live the Prelude!

I guess I've been living under a rock, but I just read in the new Motor Trend Honda is killing the Prelude after next year. It'll be replaved by a sportier Accord coupe.

Been around since 79... I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little disturbed by the death of sport coupes. OK. All except the Camaro/Firebird. At least the Z is coming back next June...

 

....yes....and uglier then ever . Is there a trend going on or something...cause most of the newer cars that are coming out are soooo ugly.

 

I agree most of the new cars are ugly. IMO i dont think the Z will do so well. There are reasons for companies to stop making specific cars, the reason is, they dont make them money

However, now that i agreed with that thought, hopfully you shall agree with me when i say this post doesnt belong here, it has no relavance to the integra.

Your friendly moderators shall move this post, and or lock it up soon, please do not be shocked or vexed by this occurance.

Thank you.

 

Funny I thought the same thing about 1 minute after it was posted. However I let it stay, I figured I would not be such a Hitler and let you tell me it was out of place.

 

i didnt know there were discontinuing the prelude?i agree that a lot of the new cars out are ugly.

 

Yep new Civic hella ugly but nice cars with hella sweet motors

 

The prelude is dying? Where have I been? Oh well, does anyone have pics of the new accord that will replace it?

 

Sorry about the non-related thread. Just thought it would be of interest, seeing as how we're cousins and all!
And does it seem the sport compact segment has gone sedan all of a sudden? WRX, Sentra R, Protege MP3 (OK, at 140 bhp, it's kinda weak, but nice try anyway)...
Personally, I think the Integra GSR and Type R are the PINNACLE of sport compact design. The GSR really kicked it off and the R finished it.
Civic Type R is goofy! Eclipse has gone girly. Don't like the RSX. I do like the Z, though. 300 bhp V6 and it's actually designed to handle well. At under $30k, it'll sell.

 

I am more sad about the death of the Camaro. It is a wonderful performance car. It's been here since 1967 and now there killing it. I hate the Trans Am though same car ugly looking.
