This new one is just a reuse of the name by the marketing guys to sell the new package .
They could have called it a CRX if they really wanted some discussion on their new concept.
I'm not in the market for a new car so its value is a little lost on me right now...

Er... what did you think the original Preludes were? They were mostly Accords under the skin. The only difference is this new one is mostly a Civic instead. They're all marketing exercises - as is basically every car ever made since before "marketing" was a concept.

The CRX would be a two seater, so that doesn't really compute. Though if they made one based on the Jazz(Fit), that could be interesting.

You're allowed to not like it, but I don't really get your point otherwise.
