Default LFA S2k splice

FB reel

black top 2 tone, red interior, even the general shape. Honda should be ashamed!

got to admit, lot of promising platforms coming out of Japan on the horizon. I just don’t think the Prelude is one of them.

Come on Honda!!!

I think it's fantastic! Basically a second generation AMG GT (unlike the abomination Mercedes is currently selling). Weight distribution, center of gravity and aerodynamics all priorities in its development. I'm particularly curious to see how high the engine revs, as it's quite a bit oversquare.

I was not interested at all at some reports of $500k pricing. Now, I'm hearing $200-225k. I'm more interested, but still likely not a buyer. At that price range, I'm going ZR1X.

But, I certainly understand the appeal of a top notch quality and top notch engineering bulletproof reliability ~650hp luxury sport coupe that looks pretty good overall and I bet has great presence in person.

Great alternative to 911 Turbo type buyers.

If it comes out at $200K and can clock a sub-7' ring time, it will be a be a good alternative. If i was shopping a $200k-ish sports car with paddle shifters, this would definitely be in the top running (i'm not in the market for either of those... lol). I really dig the looks and the super super long front dimensions - driver essential sitting on top of the rear wheels.

Toyoda also lamented scarcity of the original LFA and said that they will have higher production numbers to expand reach and remove scarcity issues.

I watched another video and about mid way through, I paused it and rewound, while yelling for everyone in the house to come look at the TV.

they used the same little black cargo net on the passenger side of the trans tunnel. Almost as a slight to Honda, “yes, we built a 4 liter v8 s2000 while you were toiling over the worst iteration of prelude ever conceived!”

probably just coincidence…

Love those nets. Hell, my C63 has one. Passenger side, transmission tunnel, just as mentioned above.

I think it will really hold its value as well, even appreciate over time. That’s even with them stating they’ll make more than the LFA.

I like the LFA more. Not feeling it.
