I'd love a Prelude!
Discussion
I was getting a bit misty-eyed and nostalgic earlier, because for no evident reason I found myself recalling my Honda Prelude ownership days.
I had a 92 Prelude, 2.2 VTEC and when that got a bit long in the tooth I imported the latest 4-th generation Prelude I could find from Japan, a '96 2.2 VTEC again.
They were lovely cars to drive! Loads of power, great roadholding, and looked great! I never liked the look of the 5th-gen version that came along in 1996.
I'd love to get one again! But a cursory look around revealed none of that spec available!
(See, I'd like an auto - it's a good electronically-controlled box).
So if anyone knows of one around, please let me know!

Its funny how people have different experiences.
My last one was a '95, 2.2 VTEC without 4WS, with sunroof. Jap import (imported myself, I'm not sure what designation that would be. It was a great car to drive!
Mine was auto (don't all flinch at once), and I liked it! I like to think the auto knew how to rev the engine better and keep the torque right, deal with the VTEC, better than I would have.
I don't recall it being overly noisy on the road either; I had removed the air resonator to let it breathe a bit better which increased induction noise slightly too.
As I said, I'd love one again!
