Come on they have to resurrect the name at least right?

I dunno about the prelude, but i think honda needs to do something with the line up of cars.

They only have the Fit, Civic, and the Accord. Its getting quite boring seeing only those three cars from honda on the streets.

I doubt Honda will ever make a F/I car. Their claim to fame is having a sporty all motor high reving cars. Thats been the case since the CRX debut 20+ years ago. Nice thought though.

I just wish they would make something to compete with the EVO's and STi's for half the price.

I guess they just leave the turbo's to the fan's huh?. But i'm sure they see these forums and posts and know that it's possible and with great results....I just wish they'd make a special 30K addition coupe like they did with the S2K-CR.

they stopped the production of the preludes to continue s2ks because towards the end of the 5 gen prelude it didnt have a good sales with it
preludes had a high compression ratio for its time and car class
it was the fastest car honda made at that time in the us besides the nsx
the s2k actually was a trial for honda with the rear wheel drive sports car besides the nsx they wanted one cheaper than the nsx

damn imagine a civic si sh cr ? lol

I think eventually they'll get at least one turbo'd car in their line-up. It's so much easier, it seems to me at least, to make a car with good power AND good gas mileage using a smaller motor and a turbo rather than a larger motor N/A.
