Honda surprised everyone at this LA Auto Show by showing up with the thinly veiled Prelude hybrid concept for the first time in the United States. And although nothing about the car’s changed since it showed up at the Japan Mobility Show, a chat with a PR representative— coupled with social media reactions to posts of the Prelude—shows that these nostalgic names really, really resonate with the public. They resonate so much, that it’s only a matter of time before Honda officially confirms the Prelude for production. Does Honda have more old-school names in store for us as it beefs up its hybrids and electric vehicles? One can only hope.
