Default Is Prelude the only genuine Honda Sports Coupe?

Civic offers 2drs and 4drs
Integra offers 2drs and 4drs
Legend offers mostly 4drs but just few in 2drs (luxury coupe?)
Accord offers 2drs and 4drs
Insight is a 2-seater hybrid
S2000 is a roadster
NSX is a 2-seater sports car (exotic)

my vote is that prelude is the only car that honda shot for as a SPORTS CAR.... like you said, s2000 is a roadster and NSX is an exotic. civics should die, and most def. the crx is not a sports car. maybe, just maybe the del sol. but thats more a crx.... so no.

Yes, from what I've read and experienced, the Prelude is the only sports coupe that Honda makes...

It has the classic features of a sports car, that neither a Civic or a Del sol has...
-Long, sloping hood
-low roofline
-low sitting height
-sporty tires-Stock (small sidewall for better handling)

Now, the S2000 is close, but it is technically a roadster....
As for the Del sol and the CRX, come on man, these are economy cars, peiod.
Maybe the Del Sol VTEC is sporty, but it is still an economy car...

The CRX was measnt to be a economy sport compact, it was the first Honda sports car in America at the time.

LOL...

First, let me tell you, Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source of information...
Go ahead, try and use it in school as a reference, it is not allowed...
U know why? Because anyone can update the information, and therefore it is not factual information, taken from a scholarly journal, or a legitimate source...

What does this mean? Anything on Wikipedia could be wrong, and probably is wrong...

Try a better source, like the Federal DOT or even car and driver.

Either way, the CRX and Del Sol were not sports coupes, in the same way that a minivan is not a sports coupe, because it does not have the characteristics of a sports coupe, which I posted above...

Yes, the CRX was meant to be exactly what you said "a(n) economy sport compact" but you contradict yourself because you say it was "the first Honda sports car in America at the time"...

Did you forget about the 88-91 Prelude? Guess so,
