OEMs Bringing Back Iconic Names (RSX, PRELUDE, MR2) | Behind the Wheel Podcast
OEMs Bringing Back Iconic Names (RSX, PRELUDE, MR2)
Names like “Honda Prelude” and “Acura RSX” are starting to re-enter the market as OEMs continue their push of re-introducing old legendary names back to enthusiasts looking for a new car.
At first sight, you may see “2026 Acura RSX” and get excited at the thought of Acura re-introducing a classic name as a new, fun, sports car. But, remember what Mitsubishi did with the Eclipse when they re-introduced it as the Eclipse Cross? Get ready for heaps of disappointment, because the 2026 Acura RSX is NOT what you’re expecting. (Neither is the Honda Prelude).
So that got us talking about this trend, and the ramifications that come with it. For instance, as OEMs make this push and inevitable transition to EVs, what does that mean for the enthusiast? Is there any possibility to tune these EV powertrains or is modification basically out the window going forward?
