Great to See Some Better Reviews

[bluetwo]

SO many haters come right out of the woodwork at first. People having a big problem with the 0-60 times that didn't understand the handling value in the car. Critics of the price... well, Preludes could be priced better, but to be fair I don't know what they would remove/replace to get the price down.

Any thoughts?

The 2026 Honda Prelude Is Difficult to Justify on Paper, but We're Glad It Exists

We're glad the Prelude is back, even if it's difficult to make the value case for a $43K, front-wheel-drive, 200-hp hybrid sports coupe.

Definitely good news. The biggest complaint I see is lack of manual transmission... and I get it, but it's not the end of the world.

Most of these reviewers are doing 0-60 without 'brake torquing' the launch. With a proper launch I've seen two reviews reporting 6.6 seconds. Without the proper launch, easily a second or more slower. It's like launching a manual transmission car at 1,500 rpms; bad technique will result in a poor time.

Still though, those numbers are definitely not impressive to me

The main problem is that they do it with the S+ on, without the S+ on it's a 1.5 sec less...
But if I want to go fast I'll use my M240i...

Ahhh I didn't know the S+ made that big of a difference!
