Looks good, and I hope they keep most of the styling. Too bad it’s going to be electric.

- 2018 Honda Civic si coupe
A lightweight EV sports car would be a wondermachine. Everybody harks on EV's (and for good reason) but if you have ever been in a powerful electric go-kart you know its insanity and driving potential. If Honda puts in the engineering work and sacrifices range for a high continuous power output battery (like those they put in their hybrids), it's possible to keep the weight close to 3000lbs with over 300hp.
Currently, there is no competition for such a platform! It could be amazing! Sadly, I don't think that it is very likely they go the performance route. Cross your fingers that it's at least RWD.
All that being said, 10/10 on the styling.

Too bad on the all-electric but it does look very good. And the fact that Honda is producing a new coupe is gonna make a lot of people happy.

Looks remarkably like a new Civic Coupe, I really like it, but again too bad its electric.. really think having a gas version and electric / Hybrid would be a better transition

I don’t have any issues with ev’s—I don’t want one, but to each their own—but I do wish this was a hybrid. Seems like that’d be the best of both worlds. I am happy to see that it’s a coupe, though. I look forward to it moving from prototype to production

Obviously the Prelude has a better, sportier and swoopier look but does anyone else see a bit of this in the car?

GTman I most certainly do. I REALLY like the side and rear profile of the Prelude concept, as well as the overall headlight shape, it’s the front grill area I’m not sold on. An aftermarket front bumper could easily rectify that however. Overall I think it looks greatObviously the Prelude has a better, sportier and swoopier look but does anyone else see a bit of this in the car?

Article says it will be powered by 200hp 4 banger. So why did they kill the si coupe?

The article mentioned that the last prelude coupe sold was 200hp, not this one.
No Hp numbers have been mentioned for this new car yet.
