We looked forward to sizing up the new Active Torque Transfer System of the fifth-generation car in our handling shootout. Unfortunately, the spiffy setup decided it had had enough after the racetrack laps and signaled its surrender with a warning light that refused to go out. We pressed on anyway and quickly discovered that whatever it was we were missing we weren't missing much.

And, I'll just leave these here.............
Despite these times, the Prelude's steering occasionally felt unassisted and unnatural, as if the electronic differential were somehow interfering.
The Prelude nearly tied the SVT on the track and displayed a similar portfolio of qualities, even though its trick electronic differential stopped operating before we completed our track laps.

I have kleptomania,
But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
