Honda Prelude
The Honda Prelude is making a comeback in 2026 as a hybrid coupe. In fact, the Prelude uses the same powertrain as the Civic Hybrid, producing a combined maximum output of 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately, it does not offer a manual transmission, but it does borrow the front suspension from the Civic Type R with its Brembo brakes.
