Prelude's body and interior costs like 10-15% of a normal program with all new powertrain, full R&D, and tooling.
If they did S2000 revival reusing type-r engine, it would cost... 5-6X more to do and ~60-80% of an all new program.

Pretty solid breakdown here: https://www.stellantis.com/content/d...esentation.pdf
