I was really rooting for the new Prelude. I wanted to be absolutely flabbergasted by its performance and marveled at its clever engineering—blown away by the fact that Honda was able to get this much out of what is, essentially, just a Civic Hybrid in a new suit.
Instead, I walked away from my first stint in the Prelude perfectly… whelmed. It’s a good car, don’t get me wrong. The design is beautiful, the cabin is comfy, and the dynamics are more than sporty enough for the majority of people shopping in this class.
But for a car that starts north of $43,000, I’m not sure that "good" is good enough.
