Default 5th Gen Prelude Exposure

I don't know about you guys, but seems to me Prelude dont get much attention in the tuner world. Magazines like Modified and Import Tuner never have a Prelude on their cover...

Why is that we dont get much exposure???????????

Because then Preludes would be just as popular as Civics, Integras, 240SXs, ETC

You don't want that do you?

Nah.. not really. I guess in a way its a good thing because when a Prelude pulls up to some ricer, it makesa them wonder what car it is.

Also, keep in mind the Preldue was quite a bit more than a Civic, and most Integras.

Preludes are fuckin pigs. They weigh so much noone in their right mind would try to make a Lude fast (I'm not in my right mind). They just get EGs and do K-series swaps...

preludes aren't popular, that's why the car got axed.

it'd be a waste of space for a magazine to devote a cover to ludes if there are 1/10th the amount of lude owners as there are DC/EG/EK owners.

Most tuners don't appreciate a Prelude for what it is (was)..... a refined sports coupe. Could have easily sold with an Acura badge on the deck lid (maybe even better as an Acura), and to me it's a bit above your average tuner who thinks a coffee can on the exhaust and an erector set wing on the trunk make a car fast.
