This new 2026 Prelude should have been our Integra, or RSX! This Prelude is a 3dr hatch based on a Civic platform, but clearly far and away the better performance version with more technology amenities and distinctive, sporty styling.

Think about it. This car is based on a Civic platform. The sports version of a Civic platform is really an Integra. The Civic Type-R is the racing version of a Civic, but from a baseline platform; a Civic that is designed as a sportier car is an Integra.
