I'm a bit of a pessimist you see  |
I don't get this Prelude - usually when Honda comes out with a low volume mainstream car it comes with something novel that they are testing out. Like ATTS or 4WS or how they rolled out the Insight (or the Clarity). This one seems to just take existing off the shelf items to make a coupe that has no market.
Maybe like you say there's a bigger hybrid motor in there that could go into their large car platform OR maybe they've come up with a rear motor to give it e-AWD like Toyota does (Acura would really stand to have this to replace SH-AWD) but none of the rumours suggest this is happening.
Even if it handles like a Si or CTR why would anyone buy this over a Civic hybrid hatch?
