After 25 long years, the Honda Prelude returned–in name, yes, but in spirit as well?
Yes, says GRM contributor Larry Printz: “The new version keeps the spirit, minus the shock,” he says. “These days, cleverness must elbow past horsepower and screens the size of patio doors. Still, the Prelude’s story is worth revisiting, if only to remember when being smart counted as a performance upgrade.”
Read more of what Printz has to say about the latest Honda Prelude in our newest issue of Grassroots Motorsports, June 2026, which begins arriving in the mail starting May 20 and going on sale by mid-June.
