2026 Honda Prelude Named Finalist for North American Car of the Year
Arriving in 2026
The all-new 2026 Honda Prelude has been named a finalist for the 2026 North American Car of the Year™ award. Not bad for a comeback tour.
This electrified sports coupe blends Honda’s fun-to-drive legacy with modern hybrid performance, pairing Honda’s award-winning two-motor hybrid system with high-performance chassis tech sourced from the Civic Type R.
Translation: responsive, engaging, and built for people who still enjoy the act of driving.
It also debuts Honda S+ Shift, an innovative drive mode that promises to deliver simulated performance gear shifts, rev-matched downshifts, and enhanced engine sounds.
How do you feel about the return of the Honda Prelude? |
With winners announced January 14, 2026, the 2026 Prelude is already proving that Honda’s future isn’t just fun. It’s note-worthy.
We cannot wait for the Prelude revival to hit our shores in 2026!
2026 Honda Pilot arriving now to Honda dealerships!
2026 Honda Pilot TrailSport
Last month, we told you the 2026 Honda Pilot was getting a thoughtful refresh. Now it’s here, and the upgrades land exactly where daily driving notices first!
The biggest change greets you front and center: a new ultra-wide 12.3-inch touchscreen, now standard across every trim. Faster, smoother, and finally wireless with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital driver display grows too, creating a cockpit that feels modern without trying too hard.
Honda also went after the things you feel, not just see. The Pilot now delivers improved steering feedback for more confident highway cruising and better control on winding roads.
The cabin is noticeably quieter, thanks to added sound insulation and acoustic glass. Less road noise. More conversation.
Safety and convenience didn’t get overlooked either. A power tailgate is now standard on every Pilot, Touring gains a 360-degree surround-view camera, and every 2026 model adds Post-Collision Braking for added peace of mind.
We’re especially proud that the 2026 Pilot continues Honda’s Made in the USA legacy with a model designed in California, developed in Ohio, and built in Alabama. The Pilot is as American as it is adventurous.
Toys for Tots Wraps up this week!
Our lovely Classic Honda team dropping off the toy boxes!
This holiday season, Classic Honda was proud to serve as a Toys for Tots drop-off location—and thanks to our incredible community, the boxes filled up fast. From basketballs and soccer balls to new dolls and Legos, the generosity of Central Florida families helped ensure kids in need could enjoy a brighter holiday.
Each donation reminded us why giving back is what this season is all about.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by and contributed. Every toy added joy to a child’s holiday, and we’re honored to have been part of it. 🎁
