Lisa Guerrero PhD+FollowArizona dealer’s $65K Prelude sparks outrageA Honda dealer in Surprise, Arizona is asking nearly $65,000 for a 2026 Prelude—thanks to a $20,000 markup and some add-ons. That’s Corvette money for a sporty hybrid coupe that starts at $43K! With Honda aiming to sell 300 Preludes a month but moving just 174 last month, it’s hard to see how prices like this help. At least the dealer is honest about the markup, but is transparency enough? Would you pay this much for a Prelude, or is this just another case of dealer greed? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude00Share
Colleen Jones+FollowHonda Prelude’s Comeback: Will It Outsell BRZ?The Honda Prelude is back in the US, but its first month was kinda quiet—only 174 sold! Honda’s aiming way higher though, hoping to move 300 a month and maybe even beat the Subaru BRZ. The catch? Dealers are charging big markups, but if prices drop to normal, sales could spike. Would you pick the new Prelude over a BRZ or Nissan Z? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude00Share
Evan Knight+FollowJohn Cena’s Honda Service Turned WildJohn Cena just went in for a Civic Type R oil change and came out with a brand new 2026 Honda Prelude in Boost Blue! He’s still keeping the Type R as his daily, but now he’s got Honda’s latest hybrid coupe as his new toy. The Prelude borrows a ton from the Type R, but adds a performance hybrid twist—plus, Cena’s literally the voice of Honda’s ads for it. Living the dream, right? #Cars #JohnCena #HondaPrelude00Share
Jacqueline Farrell+FollowHonda Prelude’s price drop sparks outrageA Fredericksburg Honda dealer just slashed $10,000 off the new Prelude’s $25,000 markup, but it’s still selling for over $58,000—way above MSRP. Car fans aren’t buying the “discount” hype, calling out how even the sticker price feels out of reach for what the Prelude offers. Online, people are comparing it to luxury sports cars and questioning why Honda’s classic coupe is being treated like an exotic. Is this just the new normal for in-demand cars, or should buyers push back harder? Would you ever pay this much for a Prelude? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude10Share
Jennifer Smith+FollowHonda Prelude’s Comeback Hits a Speed BumpThe Honda Prelude is back, but barely anyone’s buying it—just 174 sold in December! That’s way behind rivals like the Supra and Subaru BRZ. Pricey markups and a $42K starting price for a 200hp hybrid aren’t helping. Meanwhile, Honda’s SUVs and trucks are crushing it, but their coupes? Not so much. Would you pay that much for a Prelude, or are you sticking with the classics? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude00Share
Jennifer Smith+FollowHonda Prelude markups spark outrage in FloridaA Florida dealer posted a 2026 Honda Prelude for a jaw-dropping $174,600—then called it a typo and dropped the price to “just” $15,000 over MSRP. Even after the correction, the dealer tacked on thousands in fees and accessories, making the real cost about 33% higher than Honda’s suggested price. These kinds of markups aren’t just frustrating—they’re damaging trust in the brand and leaving a bad taste for car buyers everywhere. Have you seen similar markups at your local dealerships? How do you think this impacts your view of Honda or other automakers? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude00Share
dalemiller+FollowPrelude Type R Rumors: Don’t Get Too ExcitedCar fans are buzzing about a possible Honda Prelude Type R, but don’t hold your breath. While Japanese sources claim Honda’s cooking up a 315-hp beast, the reality is less spicy. Honda’s own team says the new Prelude isn’t meant to be a hardcore Type R—no manual, different vibe. A more realistic upgrade? A Prelude Type S with better handling and a bit more power could actually happen. For now, those wild renders are as close as we’ll get! #Cars #HondaPrelude #TypeR00Share
