Vampgrrl,
Your better off getting a Prelude. Even if you made the Accord on the same level of the Prelude it is still an Accord no matter what! Now if you want something with a little bit of both save up and get yourself the 03' Honda Accord EX-V6 6spd Coupe!
The 03' Accord Coupe has more interior room than the Prelude, insurance is a lot less (think family sedan cost!), VTEC V6 SOHC 240whp & 212lbs of torque, you'd be envy by losers like me

, and 6 gears!
That car's engine alone has a lot of potential! With the use of premium fuel and the Injen Cold Air Intake you would gain a 20hp to the crank! Dyno proven!
I'm bias because I own a Prelude but not only I own a 2000 Honda Prelude I also own a 2003 Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe with the 5spd auto-tragic. Both cars are still considered different in my view but I appreciate the difference in both cars.
BTW, don't listen to Nightshade. He doesn't appreciate the Honda Prelude like the way we do
