[QUOTE=hmong337;1289738]Would've been cool to have a 97-01 Honda Prelude as RWD. The profile of the car screams RWD but sadly resulted in FWD.





------------------------------------------------------------
This is exactly what I first have in mind. Looking back that year 97/98, the 5th prelude with 200hp is one of the best looking aero body styles till today. This car look awesome.

Are you thinking the 2.5L or 2.0L version? With 2.5L the MT version won't be available for awhile so it's not as if it matters. I guarantee 95% of '14 MZ3 will be AT anyway. The MT is far better than the AT, I test drove a couple '13 Skyactiv earlier this year. Which BTW has the same engine, transmission, and suspension but slight differences such as the 4-2-1 headers and chassis improvements that make it lighter by ~80lbs. The 2.0L weighs about 120lbs less than 2.5L, 10% better MPG, and cheaper. But it's mostly personal preference IMHO.
