Just ordered one...

[Alfettaman]

Hello everyone! I ordered my new Prelude (racing blue pearl, white/blue interior, UK spec) earlier this week and it's scheduled to arrive at the end of May. Very exciting!

I'm a big Honda fan and have previously owned a Honda Insight and a CR-Z. Current cars include a CR-V hybrid (the very first implementation of the iMMD hybrid powertrain that now features in the G6 Prelude) and a Honda e (full electric). I also have an Alfa Romeo Alfetta saloon - hence the 'Alfettaman' handle. Everyone has a weakness, and mine seems to be well-engineered cars...

Looking forward to learning lots from the forum and to helping others too if I can.

I'm completely with you on that!

Honda have only brought four colours to the UK. They've all got fancy names but are essentially black, white, grey and blue. In North America you also get a red one - which I think looks pretty good too.

The colour 'accents' on the new Prelude (regardless of which paint colour you have) all make me think that Honda chose blue as the principal theme colour for the new Prelude: blue vertical bar on front bumper; same on rear bumper; blue and white interior stitching; blue brake callipers; optional blue/white upholstery (but only with blue or white paint!)...

That said, colour is a very personal decision and I'd encourage everyone to choose whatever colour makes them smile!
