A lot of cars used to be known for being simple transportation that focused on value and driving pleasure alone - Civic, Prelude, Integra, etc etc. But these days almost everything is loaded up with tech, driver assist features, varying degrees of powertrain gadgets and such. Be it turbo...

Acura deciding to skip hybrids in favor of all EVs was a dumb decision IMO. The Integra would've benefitted from a hybrid option (along with the 1.5T and 2.0T). Accord needs to offer AWD badly - same goes for the Odyssey minivan, but Honda needs to create a more powerful Hybrid system first -...

I figure it'll be priced at or around where the civic hatchback hybrids are priced, probably slightly higher just to get more profit since it'll be a low volume seller. It is being positioned as a more premium GT type of sports coupe, nicer interior, better sound system, larger, more versatile...

Most definitely is FWD, which, as much as people would like an AWD Prelude, historically it was always a FWD car. I think they're also trying very hard to keep the price point in check, ideally it needs to not be much more expensive than the GR86/BRZ. A slightly markup for the hybrid and being...

Oh, and there was a video of the Prelude that was testing as well to go along with the pictures. Enjoy https://www.topspeed.com/video/2026-honda-prelude-spy-video/

Yep, the 10th gen civic coupe was really the last of the front drive compact coupes, everything else is RWD or luxury level AWD. I wasn't sure what I would ever end up replacing my 2019 civic coupe with, but the Prelude seems like the perfect candidate. I'd happily consider something RWD like...

It's definitely styled as if it would have a trunk - even though it would have a crazy high lift height with how shallow the trunk lid is (like the Integra). But the cut line in the roof and what Raiti mentioned gives me 99% assurance it'll be a liftback - plus the brightened images of the...

Also worth noting, saying it has a CVT is not really correct, Honda needs a better branding word for it, but their hybrids don't actually have a transmission to speak of - it's a single speed electric motor that drives the front wheels 95% of the time with the gas engine acting mostly as a...

It is a liftback similar to the Integra - it's got a cut line in roof and when Raiti was reviewing the concept he noted that the rear glass and trunklid were all one piece - you can also see the hatch supports behind the rear glass in some shots.

The new Honda Prelude was caught testing in Germany in full camo. Carscoops posted the shots. It appears to be 99% what the concept cars were, only differences appear to be larger side view mirrors (borrowed from the civic), slightly smaller wheels, lack of the rear spoiler (most likely a dealer...

Finally a bigger publication took notice and included a good bit of shots from various angles https://www.motortrend.com/events/honda-prelude-concept-returns-long-beach-grand-prix/

Video from the Long Beach Grand Prix showing off a red variant of the Prelude (must not have been much press there as this and 1 clip by HondaProJason are the only videos I could find). Note they seem to have replaced the front center LED with a body color painted bar and it is wearing red brake...

That is super cool and some much needed confirmation for other rumors. Having the Prelude being built on the FL5 platform is a great start - even if it isn't ultra powerful or a track beast, it will definitely have some good DNA going for it and open up the possibility for easy tuning and...

Some possible new Prelude tidbits and rumors Kirk Kreifels posted a video appearing to show that Honda has officially formed a marketing team for the new Prelude and that it would debut in 2025. I estimated we might see the finished reveal LATE 2024 with a mid-2025 release as a 2026 model...

The article compared the accord and this patent side by side and they have nearly identical proportions and overhangs and I don't think the accord is hurting for interior space - especially compared to the current TLX interior. I'm biased, I love a long nose on a car, I don't mind a longer...

That was my thought that it could be a platform that supports both options a la the new dodge challenger/daytona. But my guess is that honda would be utilizing their 0 series platform (which is what the Afeela/Sony sedan is using as well). But I don't know if it is dual compatible for...

So I've seen these for a couple of days now and figured I'd start a discussion. These patent images came from Honda's Japanese patent offices. https://www.motortrend.com/news/acura-rlx-legend-patent-images/ Now pretty much every other outlet has reported this as the next gen TLX. But...

Well it was in Acura's best interest to make the integra as versatile as it humanly could (while maintaining proportions and style) otherwise they would've just brought an entry level crossover to the market instead. The versatility of the integra is meant to be nearly as good as a small...

I would take any hatch over a trunk in most cases. There have been so many times that the trunk opening hindered my cargo more than the actual size of the trunk. Having the wider, taller, more open pass to load things in, in combo with nearly fold flat seats (versus the compromised pass through...

My best guess is that you need to figure in a few things between the civic sedan and integra hatch. -The integra hatch has a more sloped rear roof line leading into the hatch, that cuts some space. -You also have interior trim pieces in the hatch versus the trunk that doesn't have these extra...
