Honda loves surprises. How do we know? Because its next-gen Prelude concept made a surprise debut at the L.A. Auto Show.
No new details are being offered on the Prelude concept besides what we already know from the Japan Mobility Show late last month.

It is a two door car...... Honda won't sell it here. Four doors are the forced fad to buy. Looks like a decent car to me.
It looks a lot less ungainly than the final Civic coupes we received.
I always felt like the final Accord coupes were too big while the Civic coupes were a little too small. It's hard to judge size from photos but it looks like this is somewhere in the middle?
I doubt it's going to be a liftback and a manual option is a pipe dream, but it'd be nice if they at least didn't make the same mistake as the CR-Z and offered an Si trim or something with more power and good suspension.
It's an EV, isn't it? So no manual transmission option. It is a good looking car, though, and it's nice to finally see a sporty EV that isn't a big truck or SUV that may be priced for average people.
In reply to stuart in mn :
They recently clarified that it's a hybrid, not an EV.

It's ready to go on our part.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
guarantee its some hybrid BS
I feel very confident Honda wont get out of its own way and this is going to have some HYBRID garbage for the Non Enthusiast.

I'm going to take a wild guess here that it will be the hybrid drivetrain out of the Accord mated to their CVT.
The styling of the stock photo is amazing and I love it.
But assuming they federalize the chassis for US sales why don't they just put the type R drivetrain we all want in it?
It does look really nice.

The CR-Z is the only reference needed here to prove that Honda won't do that.
I got to see in the flesh yesterday. It is a really nice looking car. I hope they give it a nice drivetrain.
