Before the Integra became the greatest FWD car ever, that spot was occupied by another Honda, the Prelude. Designed with total road domination in mind, the Prelude changed perceptions about front wheel drive performance. Join James as he digs deep and fills you in on Honda’s forgotten sport coupe.

1991 prelude has my heart
my mom had a 1983 prelude… i don't remember it i was probably 2 when she sold it at the end of the 80s… got a Honda accord that I do remember..
Annoying Fock 😂
مودي اسب خلو مقاطعكم ترجمتها عربية مليت انا ولله لا اشيل اشتراك
My mom had a lude growing up. Before that she had a Datsun 610, maybe that's why I ended up buying a 91 GSX.
I came here for an informative video on the prelude stayed for the entertainment ahah
2:10 Honda Trueno?
One of the best up to speed videos!!! The child hood memories!!🤣
As a 1G 1981 Prelude owner, I can tell you they’re far from bad, they were just meant to be the most luxurious Honda they offered at the time, with innovative technology and sportier feeling than their other models
Hence why it has a shorter wheelbase while being larger than the Accord of the time, it also was the first car of its class to offer from factory, from the lowest trim level an electric sunroof (which turned in 1980 to a moonroof that was tinted), also had a digital clock, 2 barrel carbs (3 with CVCC) and wonderful bucket seats (yes, that’s what they say in the brochures of the time)
And trust me, seating in this car feels really nice, the mats are super soft, the seats feel like sofas and you’re so low to the grow in this car (for comparison, I have an EK Hatch and I noticed I was higher up in my 96 Civic than in my 81 Prelude !)
I truly love this car, it’s not the fastest, not the most powerful, but it has character, is rare and unique and my passion for it just keeps increasing each time I set my eyes on it
The Honda PreyLude… I like that🙌🏾
Greg Proops? xD
If the prelude was rwd, it would have competed with the S chassis.
do del sol next PLZZZZZZZZZ!
5th gen Prelude is an all time favorite of mine. Love the video.
You must understand the main guy named within this video left and Acrura started the designing decisions.
So it wasn't based on Honda rather the designer/engineer leaving Honda 🤔
These were the best kept secret of the Honda gang until this video was made lmao. I’ve owned 4 Preludes. Such amazing cars
If it comes back I won't buy one unless it has a naturally aspirated engine. There was nothing wrong with the H series but they could be destroyed by people using excessive throttle with not enough engine rotation. They were designed to operate between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm.
Love donut
I'm Mississippi.

Dude, eBay motors only first started in 2000
Re watching this after just buying a Gen 3 2.0L Si 4ws 😍
$1000 aus thanks for coming
3rd Gen was BY A MILE the best Lude ever…gen4 was the best looking model. I love the Lude, but the gen5 destroyed this car. Too heavy, pathetic performance…really nothing special in Gen5
I had a bb6 SH and I absolutely loved it. I miss tf out of it. Heavy as fuck though. Plus slow but it was fun and good looking car
Found a '94 prelude to buy, hopefully I can get it as I've been looking for 2 months for a car that I liked since my '11 impreza got crashed into. Can't friggin wait!!
you can get the 5th gen prelude for like a grand here in finland, which is pretty rad
I have a 2001 prelude
Bahaha during the pepboys commercial, James's ( who i think might be James) dad looks like he crapped his diaper when theyre walking down the isle..made my day.
Loved my 4th and 5th gen. Which one was better 🤔. Styling and dash in 4th gen was epic. The engine in 5th was superb. Difficult to choose.
The 3G prelude is my first project car. I love the damn thing but for everything I wanna do, I’m looking at some several bands 😵💫
Holding the flashlight and getting yelled at. My hefe use to tell me ve mira si lla puso la marana
Oh man do I miss my ' 89 Si!!!! The AWS was really slick!!! Sadly I fell asleep driving at 19, flipped it several times and wrapped it around a tree. Breaking my back in 6 places and left in a chair the rest of my life. But I still miss that car more than anything I ever owned!!
Owned a ‘79, it may not be regarded as a good car but it was one of the most fun to drive. Now my daughter has a ‘97. Love all the ‘ludes
Had 3 94s wrecked 2 3rd was stolen been wanting another since 2010 but they are all either ragged out or 300k shit boxes for 6k
got a 2000 prelude, love it
I had a 1989 prelude SI with four wheel steering. It understeered worse than my CRX and worse than any other car I've ever owned. You are misinformed my friend.
