Hopefully the platform will pave way for a Prelude Type-R down the road, otherwise right now it feels mostly like a CVT Civic SI coupe with a hybrid powertrain. I quite like its design though.
According to the article linked below, the new Prelude in Japan costs more than the CTR and other Japanese sports cars:

Quote:
- The new Honda Prelude is available to order in Japan starting at ¥6,179,800 yen ($41,700).
- The hybrid coupe costs more than the Nissan Z, and even the GR Supra (4cyl) in its home market.
- Honda is also offering a limited edition with a black roof and mirrors for ¥6,480,000 ($43,700).
Designed as a sportier and more premium two-door counterpart to the Civic, the Prelude shares the same basic platform but positions itself as a step up in style, handling, and equipment. The premium pricing reflects that positioning, placing it above the performance-focused Civic Type R hatchback.
