Old-school Honda Prelude commercial back in the simpler times.

 

ahhhh

 

Gotta love the lude

 

That was a great little car. My girlfriend's cousin had one, I got to drive it all the time, when we were partying.


Burgess Meredith FTW

But I like the 1G BodyStyle better.

 

what happened to the Prelude anyway? Are they ever going to bring it back?

 

Now that's old school. That 1st gen lude is as old or older than me.

 

probably not for while.

 

:ibtmovetocartalk:...?

 

I loved my Prelude. Miss it.

 

And it misses you. A lot. Just sitting in a junkyard now...just a shell of its former self


j/k...sort of. i miss my old grand am because of all the dumb things I remember doing in it.

 

if you miss it so much....

buy mine

 

The Grand Nationals and T type Buicks Ruled the 80's

 

I thought the s2000 replaced it

 

Accord coupe replaced the Prelude.

 

HA!

I had that EXACT car (the blue one)...same color ext/int...everything.

Not a bad little ride.

 

Do you miss it?

 

I wouldn't say that I "miss it", I bought it with close to 100,000 miles on it, so it wasn't exactly in it's prime. But it was a great little car for it's time.

 

but didn't they have both at one time?

 

I had the opportunity to buy a T-Type from an old family friend. The car was mint and was two tone silver/black. He wanted 12000 which i didnt have. A cousin of mine scooped it up and it's been in storage ever since. Thankfully the storage is climate controlled, but it never gets driven

 

Separated by one year (97-01 vs 98-02) but, yes. And it was not a homologated replacement. Rather it was effectively a replacement by default.

 

funny how they mention the 1/4 mile time.. can you imagine if you could go back in time to that era and show them F&F.. lol.. 16.68 ain't too slow!

 

cars need to come back with those pop up lights. the last car i saw with pop up lights was the last gen Corvette and the earlier NSX's.

 

The best part of that commercial is the 1/4 mile segment, where the Lude just drives by the camera...I mean you can show the breaking...you can show the cornering...its hard to show the 1/4 mile though...and i think its funny how it just drives by with some cones on the track

 

I miss the commercials of the F1 car turning into an Integra.

 

Up until the very end, the Pontiac Firebird had popups.

 

Too funny - bragging about a 1/4 time of 16.68. And did anyone notice the announcer's voice was Burgess Meredith? He's the guy who played Mickey in the old Rocky films - and also played the penguin in the old 1960's Batman series.

Unfortunately he died in 1997. He was a really good actor.

 

I had a '91 that I just loved. Had some good high speed runs in it: 130 across Utah down to Arches Natn'l Park; cruise @ 110 thru Wyoming on my way home from first year law school; lots of fun!

 

The accord coupe and prelude were on the honda lineup together for a lot longer than that. Honda has always had an accord coupe/hatch. There were hond accord hatches in the 80's and coupes in the 90's. It was the popularity and high sales of the 98 Accord Coupe that finally dethroned the Prelude in sales and forced honda to stop making it. I'd take a Prelude anyday over an accord coupe of that era though.

 

I never knew it was Burgess Meredith's voice? He was a great actor!

 

My friend has a '91 Prelude Si (last year with pop-up lights) that I'm going to buy from him and restore it to mint condition this summer Maybe even put in a H22 motor

 

my dad had the very first bodystyle prelude for his first car way back in the day. i think they were like 70hp I was close to getting a SH prelude but i ended up getting the 3.0cl

 

Yes I did, that why I mentioned it my earlier post.

 

Nice, can't wait to see how that will look
