Super TestCar reviews - Honda - Prelude - VTi-R coupeHonda modelsOverviewThe final Prelude swapped sexy styling for a refined and dynamic package29 Mar 2001 By TIM BRITTEN SOME people thought Honda dropped the ball with the latest version of the Prelude when it was introduced in late 1996. The strangely angular design was a complete break from the aggressive, stealthy form of its predecessor. Honda has been pleased to find enough buyers happy to opt for the new car's larger interior and bigger boot, as well its refined on-road performance.
