Honda Prelude CAUGHT Testing in Germany

[RobbJK]

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 add on option). Also worth noting that Acura did recently renew their trademark for "RSX" so some rumors going around that Acura could badge engineer the Prelude into a new RSX coupe as well, possibly with ICE turbo instead of hybrid powertrain.

Hybrid. Probably same motor that's in the accord.

0 Interest if they don't offer it in a manual.

Hybrid so I'm going to guess its CVT.

I mean I'd rather have my Type S even if it came in a manual but I still think its pretty cool even if its hybrid, not with a cvt though.

Zero interest even if they did.

At least it looks better than the accord. Front still looks like a new Prius.

Motor Trend was apparently told by a honda official it will have the same powertrain found in the civic. Link to MT article.

But don’t worry, they promised the transmission will be tuned to feel more sporty! /s

I forgot the civic now offers a hybrid. So yeah makes Sense.. performance CVT .

Cool to see the prelude coming back! Hope it drives as good as it looks

The silhouette is nice, but the grill and upper rear bumper look like they'll be a mistake.

With the fact the Si was barely updated when the hybrid came out I'm getting the feeling that the Prelude will be replacing the Si.
