A 2 door sports coupe by Honda. The Prelude has proven itself to be a vehicle with long lasting appeal, 4th and 5th generation Preludes are hugely popular with people wanting an easily customizable car with real potential for performance. Superb handling across the range was a great feature of these cars. Using advanced technologies, every generation of Prelude featured handling that was superior to most rivals. The Super Handeling system featured in the 5th gen is now used in the new Honda Legend, but utilzes all four wheels (SH-AWD) instead of the front two. The scream of a prelude hitting VTEC sends a shiver down your spine. Over the years it was used to introduce such technolgies as: *CVCC low emission engine (1st Gen) *4 wheel stearing 4WS (3rd Gen) *Super Handleing torque managment system (5th Gen) Urban Dictionary
