Low cool. Not the best Japanese car, but I'm still happy when I see one in good shape.

 

[Tornado]

Nice Camaro.

 

[Liquid]

Thought they were ugly as sin at first.

Still do... but they're okay.

 

[ZGBox]

Cool for honda fans, for sure but I doubt its coolness for the general public.
So a very high Meh, it's still a great car.

 

[-Fred-]

I owned one for a few years about a decade ago. I don't think I'm that cool.

 

[Rallywagon]

One of a very small few Hondas I would own. But, still FWD, and still a Honda. Meh.

 

[Adamgp]

It's ok, for a Honda.

Meh

 

[GranTurNismo]

Uncool. In terms of looks, it was a massive downgrade from its predecessor. Plus, it's not a good sign when there's virtually zero stock ones left. Most Preludes I see on the road of this generation are very poorly modified, unfortunately.

 

[Centroid]

Very disappointing looks wise, inside and out after its predecessor. Probably a good car otherwise. Overall meh.

 

[MisterWaffles]

All I really see the Integra and Prelude as are the Civic and Accord coupes with fancy names. I'll give this one a high meh, just below a low cool.

Also good luck finding one of these unmolested nowadays.

 

[MoLiEG]

Never liked the Prelude. It's soooo boxy and generic and bland and ugly :/

Still, it's not bad enough for SU.

So, Uncool.

 

[kikie]

Definitely Meh.

It is just a Honda and not even a good looking one. Good cars though.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Meh when it came out, but a solid cool now.

 

[MatskiMonk]

The Ford Scorpio of Hondas.

The industrial styling kinda grew on me. I remember a car magazine staff [Car & Driver?] really liking it back in the day.

Suburban and highway driving isn't really driving so not much point in getting a dancer for me anyway.

I think I'd prefer getting a hybrid and daring to extend the range beyond the computer estimate Like a modern day Cosmo Kramer.
