Honda Prelude Fifth Gen



The Honda prelude was produced by Honda from 1978 until 2001 and spanned a series of five generations. The two door sports coupe drew inspiration from Honda's previous Honda accord range, and the prelude was the first in a series of vehicles prduced by Honda with musically related names, others being the concerto and ballade. 


The fifth generation, as seen in the picture above, retained the front engine front wheel drive layout with an independent front suspension and 63/37 weight distribution. Most fifth gen prelude come with 16inch alluminium alloy wheels, feature the 11.1" front brakes that the '96 VTEC model came with, and most Preludes also received a five-lug hub, as opposed to the four-lug wheel hub of older models. The fifth generation prelude marked a return to the more square body style of the third generation, in an attempt to curb slumping sales of the fourth generation body style. Despite this the fifth generation model was the least selling model of the prelude range although it is considered by many the best looking.
