[Carministrator]

does this look legit to you guys?

obviously some of the pictures are homemade, except maybe the rear view.

i certainly hope so, ive been reading on other sites that they are bringing it back have you heard anything?

[The Captain]

It'd be cool if they brought it back, but i highly doubt it will happen. I remember seeing those pictures a few years ago, just some clever photoshopping. Someone found the source photos, obviously one being an accord, i forget the other one.

[HatchSurfer3]

That would be awesome if they did bring it back. Should make it rwd if they do bring it back tho

[ozthunder]

When that is made, Christ will be in the passenger seat smoking a cuban and drinking a flask of Blue label.

[malloyboy1]

ive heard rumors too but i know that rear shot was the prototype car for some car show(dont know what one) i honestly dont think its gonna come back and if it does it wont be rwd

well i know it wouldnt be. Ive always thought it should have been. I used to have one.

It's a fisker.

Legit or not....

Anything sporting a Type R badge will never be brought into the country again.

why?

anyways thats the fakest photochop ive ever seen. Like someone else said they used the accord, also i see a bit of the bmw 3 series. the wheels look like melted butter for god sakes!

agreed its definitely fake

[zerioustt]

def fake, never seen a proto with a real tag on it for one. also never seen them change rims on a proto as well, if you look at the top to pics the rims have a lip to them, the bottom pic does not.

ninja edit, also a wing on the bottom pic which isnt in the other pics.

ninja edit deuce, when have you ever seen a japanese proto that was left hand drive.



ok im done proving this wrong.

[The Captain]

picture look familiar?

lol, told you. :)

[jdm free]

FFFAAAKKKEEE!!! It kinda looks like a camaro but smaller, n the interior is a pic of an accord

[CHAOS]

btw LMFAO at the brake calipers being part of the wheels

[xEJ20x]

why?



We were able to some how get the ITR. Why not the CTR of those years?
How come we always get the watered down SI or Type-S versions now?

I will assume that it has alot to do with the market demand, theft trend of the past Type R, insurance, lack of intelligent drivers, and bean counters.

[CleanNeon98]

the interior nad engine shots are from an accord...

[MPowerKai]

Well we did get the CR S2000

[SovXietday]

LAWL.

I didn't even need to open this thread before being able to tell you the answer is no. The prelude will never be back.

[driftingrx5.7]

here is how i knew it was fake, not seeing how badly placed the wheels are but if you look at the first pic it says DOHC i vtec look at the pic and its the 3.0 which is sohc FAKE ftl. the idea is nice tho :D

[Shawn@R/Ttuning]

The BS. Clearly a RWD set up chassis as well.

[ozthunder]

lol, I still want my ****ing cookie for calling it.

[Shawn@R/Ttuning]

You just saw it first! I knew what it was Fiasker as soon as I saw it too. Didn't even read all the posts. I love how the Brake rotors are so far foward.

[ozthunder]

Yea, it's silly how foolhardy these people are (not the OP, but these photochoppers)

lol, and I dig white choc macadamian nut.

lets not forget the alarming rate at which b18c's were torn from their itr bodies and stuffed into other cars for drag racing purposes. a complete opposite of that cars intended purpose. if i were honda i wouldnt give us anything cool either

The Prelude will come back!!

[240sxxx]

Even if the prelude came back I doubt they would put a V6 in it.

[CRXed]

They would never bring a Prelude true to it's form back as it would cannibalize sales from both the civic and accord. What they should do is create it anew sporting RWD and a power folding hard top to compete with BMW and Lexus.
