In Reply to: v6 accord coupe better than prelude... posted by pika on December 18, 2000 at 00:34:55:
The 5th gen prelude is a HUGE letdown. I had the 1998 model. TOTAL waste of time, money, and effort on part of Honda. Honda has the engineering brains to make the best cars in the world, the only thing is the company is run by accountants. They fucked-up so badly with the new Prelude it's not even funny. I take it personally when they do such a shitty job, because I also owned the 1988 Si model which was (and still is) one of the all-time greats. Its's 4WS was superb - second to none!
Once Honda starts making cars the way they should, then it'll be worth while looking at them. Now, they are AWFULL; Honda has lost their track, and purpose.
They should do a limited run of special Preludes; AWD, V6 (350hp) - no turbo, no supercharger, Racing Hart or Volk 19" wheels, Bridgestone Potennza PP2 tires, 14" discs with 6 pot calipers all around. lightened body (no rear seat) redesign the dash (lots of instruments; all dials like Smiths or Omori), sequential six speed gearbox, nice Recaro CF seats, 6 sets of Cibie lights), built-in roll cage, dash adjustable dampers, and ride height, meaty body kit (no huge rear spoiler), no electronic gimmickery (DVD or such), etc., etc., etc.
In other words, a real drivers car, which would knock the pants off of the Skyline, and such.
