Ive been trying to buy a prelude for a while now, so Im not really a hater.
But the car has its disadvantages, one of the heaviest cars made by honda, built with an engine with alot of torque, but with a dislike for boost, and with less aftermarket support than its smaller brethren. The prelude has a hit or miss styling on the exterior, much set apart from most of the honda line of cars, with different trim packages such as the SH Preludes. IMHO Honda deviated from its norm when they began production of the Prelude, which may be the cause of this dissent within the honda community.
