Welcome to the real world.
I was comparing the 2000 Celica GTS with the Prelude when I was car shopping last. The visibility to the rear is abysmal! One of the good points of the Prelude is that visibility is really pretty good all around for a sporty car. This can really help when manuvering the car in tight places or planting it properly on the road. This good visibility has always been a high point of Hondas. To bad they have to give this up to get "sexy" styling. What do you guys think of the styling anyway? I've still not really warmed up to the 7th gen styling. I guess this is one reason I'll probably wait until next year to trade the Prelude.
