In a way the Integra wins because it has survived while the Prelude hasn't. The Preludes demise came about in part because of the success of the Integra and the performance that the Type R's offered. On the other hand the Prelude paved the way for the Integra with 20 something years of production (of US spec cars) and the R and D that went into the 5 generations of Prelude.
I guess I will always see the Prelude as the original performance and style minded Honda, while the Integra is more along the lines of a younger sibling.

see i figured that the prelude was more of a crazy werid ass middle child than the older sibling to just the integra/RSX
it alwasy had the weirdout ideas that tried to outplay the older brother but never quite accomplished it, ATTS, 4ws, all just trying gain the control of the nsx, and then it always had an identidy crisis (b20 prelude 2.0si anyone?)

that was my guess too, but somebody pointed out that you can have cars repainted nowadays so it's possible to have the same speed inducing blue color on more than one car...my entire belief system was shattered after that...and im not even gonna get into what i found out about santa claus...
