Looks like Honda beat Toyota to make the EV 86

Loved the first 3 generations of the Prelude (sort of lost its way after that for me). This seems a relatively decent current version of those, although the design looks a bit cab forward to me. Overall though I'd consider it, ICE or EV. It will depend on the interior. Seems recent Honda seating is stiffer than I prefer.

Oh FFS, it still has FWD proportions! For the love of God, WHY?!

I'd prefer something 86 sized or smaller, so I will probably wait to see what comes out in the next few years, especially the NE Miata, but it is good to know this might be an option over a Tesla Model 3 for a two door EV that is sportier looking.

I think the nutballs are right that this is a "close to production" prototype from the interior, proportions, mirror, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the production version is released "soon" and looking similar.

Okay, so I thought this was an EV. It's apparently a hybrid. So the FWD proportions make sense. It's not a clean sheet "skateboard" architecture EV.
It looks fat and too big. Given Honda's recent track record with reviving hallowed nameplates (Integra, CRZ [basically a CRX]) I have no faith.

I wasn't being critical of the Integra's weight. Agree its weights are decent. But that car sucks as an Integra. They only named it as such for the hype. And no doubt that's probably what we'll get here - something that has far more in common with the last Accord coupe than the Prelude, name being used for hype. (would we even be having this conversation if it was a new Accord coupe that had been the concept? I know I wouldn't be lol).
