The Prelude will come to Europe first and then come to the USA (according to the internet). It's not "only going to Europe". I actually do want a hybrid and I think most people will. As long as the hybrid helps with performance. BMW and Mercedes both use mild hybrid to improve performance.
The transmission they are going to use won't work with a manual because the hybrid doesn't use an actual transmission because the electric motor is straight to the axle. Finally someone using their brain knowing what the civic has currently
Honda acura have hybrid cars and trucks with auto cvt ecvt dual clutch and manual 4 cylinder V6 turbo fwd AWD mid engine front engine coupes hyper car sedan SUV economy luxury hatch etc.
The prelude was never really a sports car, it was always more of a GT car. And with government mileage and emissions regulations we are going to start seeing more and more hybrid/electric cars. I don’t knew why they can’t put a manual in it. I worked for Honda when the their little hatch back hybrid had a 6 speed manual. To be honest when we got to test drive it on a track I became very interested in the chassis, I want to do a k swap on one and make it a track monster. I really expected the new prelude to come with awd, especially using hybrid power it would be very easy to do. The type Sh models had all wheel steering which for Honda at the time was a close to awd as they would get, the 80’s and early 90’s there were awd civics but not popular in the USA.
Right, it was a GT car with a sunroof and enough headroom for both front and rear passengers. So why are they coming out with this sunroof-less car with a roofline that looks like you'd have to be under the age of 10 to fit in the back seat? It doesn't really add up. Could they not commit to making it either an enthusiast sports car or a stylish luxury coupe without being like either?
There is a huge push for electric vehicles in NA. Governments are investing big money into car companies to build and convert their current car lineup into electric cars. Honda had chosen the Prelude as their 'sexy' hybrid car option. Like it or not, this is going to happen until something sticks. I'm pretty excited for the Prelude. If the drive experience fits the bill, I'll be getting one.
The theory is that it could have the "virtual manual" that Toyota developed for EVs, it would also work in a hybrid. Just like steering, pedal / throttle have become electronic / drive by wire, the shifter can be too.
Car is going to be a hit without the manual transmission option. No other car manufacturer has a hybrid 2 door coupe offering 🙋🏼♂️ Honda already has Honda Civic SI and Type R in a manual as well as Acura Intergra type S 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Then why bother launching it? Bury it with the recently launched and failed NSX - when you stray away from the original recipe and simply try to attract buyers from the name, it’s a recipe for disaster
The NSX hasn't been a huge hit since its inception. Plus the competition offers more for the money (the car ain't cheap). And when sales are low to bring with, then you have to make a Hybrid version to see if that changes anything. Stop hating so hard, look into the numbers.
I’ll don’t see why Honda want make the prelude a serious competitive sport car like Toyota did with the Supra , make it rear wheel drive & put a V8 in it
I would definitely want a hybrid prelude. Nippy, comfortable, quiet and reliable. Why reverse engineer a car for a manual that most people, even in Europe, don’t want? A 4x4 would be good to have, and even four wheel steering, but if these were to up the price by much then I’m not so sure. More and more people are taking their tests in automatics which, in Britain at least, forbids them from driving manual cars anyway. Honda hybrids are brilliant so why have a manual that would just be an inconvenience?
@@richardsmith579 the y don't have the have the best engineers and did it before and it can be used for other upcoming cars and to show other companies who can do it he impossible and the enthusiasts will love it .
Because it's a sports car. If you want something that's fuel efficient, quiet, and nippy, just get the Civic Hybrid. The Prelude was famous for its charismatic engine, snappy manual, and agile chassis.

I guess you never driven the 1st gen Honda insight. Haha

Crz was manual. I think the fuel economy isn’t worth it

SH wasn't awd. Just had a mini transmission (ATTS) that provided torque to the wheels

WHY Europe first? It was more popular in the US... Strange!
I say the same thing too
Scratched off my list if theirs no 6 or 7 or 8 speed manual..
Its coming to america.
What about North America/ US??
Nothing confirmed yet
Never say never..
Ever ever ever!!!! We need ICE vehicles back
if they add the tlx type s motor my dream
@@Neodestro type r
Yea I care about the engine

Let the enthusiasts go buy a z or mustang. This is perfect for the professional who doesn't want to tell women he in a civic 😊
