wanna bet this is going to be an accord hybrid with a bit more electric motor via tuning in coupe form?

The Prelude, one of Honda’s most iconic nameplates, will return to the U.S. in 2025.
Now in its sixth generation, the all-new hybrid Prelude will debut Honda’s S+ Shift, a drive mode that, as Honda explains, “further advances Linear Shift Control to deliver maximum levels of driver engagement, in keeping with the heritage of the Prelude line.”
So, fingers crossed that the new Prelude is just as fun to drive as previous Prelude models.
"The return of the Honda Prelude as a hybrid-electric sports model demonstrates our continued commitment to offer a variety of exhilarating products to meet the needs of our customers," said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda Auto Sales. "The first three products in the Honda lineup in the 1970s were Civic, Accord and Prelude, and soon all three will be back together again in our passenger car lineup as hybrids."
No hard dates have been announced yet, though Honda says we can expect the Prelude to be introduced to the U.S. market “late next year.”

Well I can't wait to see this out on the road.
Any guesses now what it'll run at the FIRM? 
Looks good. It's just..... the CR-Z was a huge disappointment. Get it right this time, Honda!
VTEC, yo!
i still remember the 4th gen gauge cluster that extended into the middle of the dashboard and was LED based. 12 year old me thought it was cool.
Odd looking front end...

um, because it WAS cool.
My roommates Prelude was the first car I ever drove in anger on course. I'll always have a soft spot for the brand.
Is it just me, or does it look quite Porsche-ish? Other than whatever the hell is going on with that grill/headlight bucktooth thing.

I thought it looked similar to the new Z personally... At least from that angle.
If I see one in the steel next year and it's as good as it should be, I will officially forgive Honda for ditching the Civic Si Coupe.
