I know it's only a concept, but..... Why?! Why have they even thought about doing this?

Perhaps they wanted to build a Hyundai ...

Mate.... epic facepalm.

Don't believe what the internet tells you.

Go onto Google images and take a look at the fisker latigo cs from 2006 and the bmw 6 series and come back to this thread.

;)

Because, Preludes :rock:

I like the side profile and back end of that btw 8-)

Sticking with the 5th gen headlight theme though... :whistle:


Personally, I think the chances of a new lude are looking relatively good...
Re-launch the Civic Type R and NSX and they have a gap in between to fill... Top spec sports car models (NSX) act as a feeder of interest to a more affordable mass-market model Prelude) so the launch order makes sense.

For me though, modern cars just don't have the 'feel' or dynamics of older cars. They're far too fat and heavy feeling. Extremely competent, but no feel or excitement or connection :(
Still, it would be good for the owners club to get some new blood into the range 8-)

This /\ /\ /\

Someone I work with quite a lot asked me if I'm getting a new car......nope.....for exactly the same reason as above. Have never found anything I really liked enough.

Don't worry I don't believe it, I was looking for ideas to add to my list, and came across it. They have been releasing concepts of the prelude since 2007, but it seems they have never done anything with it.

Then again as wurley said, maybe with the relaunch of the civic type R and the new nsx, this may really be in the cards... It would be interesting, but I can see it being another trainwreck of abomination like the new supra....

Lol Honda havnt done a concept of the prelude since the 5th gen 1st emerged.

Like I said gougle bmw 6 series and fisker latigo. They are the same car with different bodies and someone has photoshopped a USA accord front end into the body and made you spuff.
