Don't let the fact that the Prelude is no longer available (in US) as anything negative with this car. I prefer the 5th generation '97-'01. A Sporty car, great performance bang for a your gas buck, and with a simple timeless style (maybe a little ahead of it's time, I thought when first released, but now think it fits in perfectly). Although it'a a four seater, it's really a two + 1/2 + 1/2. My favorite things about it... looks, handling, style, just the right amount of creature features and ofcourse... V-TEC! ... just ask anyone who knows. Plus... it's a Honda - What else is their to say?
