The new Honda Prelude is meant to feel sporty and nimble, similar to the Civic Type R but with less power and an added hybrid powertrain. It competes in the same class as the Toyota GR86, and although the Toyota delivers a more traditional sport coupe feel with a non-hybrid powertrain and rear-wheel drive options, the Honda Prelude offers a less conventional package with its front-wheel drive hybrid drivetrain paired with suspension components from the Civic Type R and a high-performance chassis that takes the prelude's handling to the next level.
