Confirmed: Honda Prelude Makes Return

You may remember from our September edition we shared some predictions about the return of an iconic Honda coupe. Back then it was just speculation based on some copyrights that Honda had filed for, including the Prelude name. But now, at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, Honda has confirmed the reincarnation of the next-gen Prelude. This sporty coupe will feature a Hybrid drivetrain, with potential for a EV version down the road. Not much more is known at this time, but we are eager to learn and share more as it comes out!

How do you feel about the return of the Honda Prelude?

Ridgeline Gets Rugged Improvements

Much like the Honda Pilot and Passport, the Ridgline also gets more off-road improvements with the TrailSport package for the 2024 model year. Although this is the first year for the Ridgeline TrailSport, Honda engineers are able to apply the knowledge they have gained from the 2023 lineup of TrailSport vehicles.

The 2024 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport gets some pretty slick upgrades to help set it apart from other packages:

  • Specially tuned off-road suspension built for better contact and articulation

  • Additional underbody shielding to protect from debris impact

  • Aggressive All-Terrain tires

  • Unique styling cues such as badging, front grille, and trim

  • Customizable i-VTM4β„’ torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system
