No h22 no care
“Sporty Hybrid”
Meh
Looking back, I don't really think the h22 was a great engine. The b series had way more potential with less displacement.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It would be cool if they could make it AWD. There's a serious lack of affordable AWD coupes. Is there even anything out there outside of the M240i which isn't what I consider affordable for most people?

It wasn't bad relative to other 4-cylinder engines in the day but it pales in comparison to the B series which stands with the K series as the gold standard for NA 4-cylinder engines.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Looks like a 6-6 coupe
Rwd?
Fwd would be silly.
Depending on how you define affordable, I shopped this segment. Audi A5/S5/RS5, C/E coupes, and Lexus RC were the other ones I cross shopped.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

LOL that's not affordable for the masses. M240i appears to be the most affordable and I don't consider it affordable to most. That said car pricing is all out of whack right now as Integra Type S, Corolla GR, Civic Type R, Golf R are all seriously overpriced.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

That’s why I said define affordable. You mentioning the bmw made me think we’re talking entry level faux luxury.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If you’re talking econobox AWD coupes, did any even exist? The only thing that comes to mind is the Impreza coupe and I can’t even remember if that was jdm only. There never was a market for such a thing.

Proportion seem to say FWD. At best it'll give you torque vector via electric motor in the back. That's on point for Prelude if you recall 4WS in the 80s and Type SH in the 90s.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was gonna say the new Prius is a nice, new AWD econobox.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Then I built one in the configurator. It is not an econobox.
Prius>Prelude
I find it strangely Lexus-like.
Yes they existed but you have to go back to the DSM days. Now that my kids are older I will have less needs for 4 doors and something like this would be ideal. I get that it's not going to be a big seller in today's market of SUV's but if Honda's going to make another coupe it would be a shame for it to be FWD especially if it's going to be electric or hybrid.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I agree with all of the comments regarding FWD.
AWD would be nice but FWD seems to be Honda’s MO.
As for H22, it was decent. Smoother and more torque than B-series but they consumed more oil.
Honda's proven many times over (and still doing so with the CTR and ITS) that they'll take a fantastic car/chassis, and still pop FWD powertrain in it. If any company was going to make a sporty EV FWD, you can bet it would be Honda.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Problem is they charge AWD prices for FWD vehicles. The whole point of FWD is lower price point.
FWD is FWD. Civic Type R shines on the track and street in ideal conditions but in wet or cooler temps struggles putting power down which kind of ruins the fun. They did make the S2000 so it's not like they are completely married to FWD. Also as said above they charge AWD pricing for some of their FWD models.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Where is the s2000? When is that showing back up??
I love preludes, I had 2 of them when I was young and still look weekly for a 3rd gen. Not sure this car will do anything for me
I really like this. Always wanted a prelude back in high school…I’d give this a serious look when it gets to production. Much nicer than the Integra reboot anyways.
