Here are some more information for Civic Vtec Prelude:

Honda introduced the first Prelude for sale in 1979 based on the Civic as an attempt to offer something exciting to the market. Honda had already begun building a reputation for reliability and intelligent design, but excitement wasn't something that a 1970s' car buyer would associate with the company.

In the two decades following that first Prelude for sale, the Prelude graduated from being mildly exciting to being the flagship performance car in Honda's lineup. However, the Prelude wasn't about muscle. It remained true to the core Honda vision of drivability and handling.

The Prelude holds a special place in automotive history because it served as the platform for Honda innovation. These advancements included 4-wheel steering, fuel injection, and the Active Torque Transfer System. The Prelude was also Honda's first model to get the vaunted VTEC engine.

The Honda Prelude remained incredibly popular throughout the 1980s, and from the perspective then, it seemed as if that would never change. However, circumstances did change, and with the 1990s, the Prelude found itself in an odd middle ground between economy and premium car buyers.

Honda was never able to adapt to the situation in which they found themselves. Compounding the issue was the ever-shrinking market for sport coupes. To make the Prelude for sale in the 1990s successful, Honda had to make it less expensive or make it a better fuel performer. Unfortunately, they could not accomplish these things easily within the current configuration. So, popularity continued to wane, and Honda finally dropped the car from the lineup after the 2001 model year.

Consumers seeking a used Honda Prelude for sale should focus most of their attention on the fifth and final vehicle generation sold from 1997 to 2001. This model was heavier and larger than previous generations, and it was overall a more dynamic car than it had ever been.

Honda offered the fifth-gen Prelude for sale at two trim levels: standard and Type SH. Both models included the 2.2L 4-cylinder VTEC engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 4-speed automatic transmission was available as an option among the standard Preludes. This engine initially produced 195 horsepower, but by 1999, Preludes with the manual transmission boasted as much as 200 horsepower.

Both Prelude models included a full-featured equipment package. Some of the highlights were full power accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, ABS, a sunroof, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The primary difference between the standard Prelude for sale and the Type SH model was the Active Torque Transfer System. The purpose of this electronic system was to distribute torque to the outside drive wheel during cornering scenarios. This minimizes understeer, and thus emulates rear-wheel-drive characteristics.

Most automotive critics were impressed with this system at the time, and lauded the Prelude's well-balanced and nimble handling. There just wasn't enough overall performance there at the time for the price point, but that doesn't matter much to today's used car shopper considering the Prelude.

Another complaint concerning the final Preludes was the interior, which was underwhelming for car that cost nearly $30,000. It was a valid complaint, but Honda constructed the interior of high-quality materials, and it holds up well today. Most used car shopper will find it pleasing enough at today's price point. The bottom line is that the Prelude is a great choice for the consumer seeking an affordable used car that provides safety, reliability, and handling.

Look Out for Honda in 2007

The founder of Honda Automobiles, Soichiro Honda, was born in 1906. He grew up helping his father repair bicycles in the little town of Komyo. At 16, he headed to Tokyo, 270 kilometers away, to take an apprenticeship at an automobile repair shop. He took up racing and, after a violent crash, he was convinced by his wife to retire from the sport. The repair business alone was not enough to keep him occupied. This restlessness led to his venture into piston ring manufacturing in 1937.

By the early 1950s, Honda had developed into an engine manufacturer. Honda's inventive spirit led the company to develop class-leading engines for Japan's motorcycle industry. Honda met Takeo Fujisawa by chance in 1948. The two men shared a desire for long-term investment, a rare trait in post-war Japan. They agreed to work together; Fujisawa invested his money and took on the marketing responsibilities and Honda continued on the technological side of the business. The Honda Motor Company was born in 1948.

Soichiro Honda did much of the market research for his products. This research went as far as traveling to races all over the world and examining the competition's motorcycles. Once a benchmark was set with a competitive product, Honda would take this information home and strive to top that mark. Honda's racing successes converted to sales successes. In 1959, Honda had topped the Japanese motorcycle sales chart with 285,000 units. Two years later, Honda was selling at rate of 100,000 units a MONTH!

Honda announced its intention to enter automobile production in the early 1960s and introduced the S360 sports car. When it was decided to begin exporting the Honda products, the United States was chosen as a key target. The first Honda motorcycles were introduced into the United States in 1959. By 1963, Honda was the top-selling brand of motorcycles in the United States. Today, Honda stands as the largest motorcycle manufacturer and the 9th largest automobile manufacturer in the world. With cars like the Civic S Hatchback, Prelude and Civic CRX, Honda became the first car maker to finish first, second and third in the Motor Trend Import Cars of the Year selections!

Here's a peek at what they have in store for the model year 2007:

2007 Honda Accord

The changes to the seventh-generation Accord will be most noticeable at night, when the multiple LEDs in the taillights and center high-mounted stop light (CHMSL) are readily apparent. The CHMSL has been moved from the rear window to the rear edge of the trunk, where it acts as a small spoiler. The rear fenders are changed slightly from earlier models, as has the grille and front bumper. Improvements to intake and exhaust airflow have enabled Honda to find a few more horsepower in both Accord engines. The silky-smooth 3.0-liter single overhead camshaft, 24-valve V6 is up four horsepower, for 244 at 6250 rpm, with maximum torque 211 lb-ft at 5000 rpm. Honda's VTEC variable valve lift and timing system ensures optimum performance at all engine speeds, and there is a very healthy midrange surge of torque that is best taken advantage of by the six-speed gearbox.

2007 Honda Element

The 2007 Element is available in two versions, the LX and the EX. Both the Element LX and EX come equipped with the same 166-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and new Drive-by-Wire electronic throttle control system, as well as a handy Maintenance Minder organizer whose name speaks for itself. With this seventh generation version, Honda will deliver a face-lifted SUV that features additional 10 horsepower, new five-speed automatic and a new set of standard safety equipment.

2007 Honda Fit

The 2007 Honda Fit is a triumph of creativity, proof that good ideas don't have to be expensive. Both trim levels for this front-drive, five-door hatchback (the Fit is offered in base and Sport trim) feature a 1.5-liter, 109-horsepower VTEC four-cylinder engine. Delivering 105 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm, it posted a 9.3 second, 0-60 mph sprint. As if anticipating safety concerns from U.S. buyers, Honda has provided two key features standard on both the base and Sport models. Both trim levels now come with four-wheel antilock brakes and side curtain airbags.

2007 Honda Ridgeline

Honda's pickup truck is a compact, five-passenger 4-dr crew cab with a 5-ft long cargo bed and standard all-wheel drive. Ridgeline has several design features unusual to pickups, including independent rear suspension and unibody construction. The tailgate drops down or swings out. The sole powertrain is a 255-hp V6 and a 5-speed automatic transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags that cover both seating rows and include rollover deployment. All models have front bucket seats and a 60/40 split rear bench with cushions that flip up to increase in-cab storage.

Soichiro Honda's unique leadership has allowed the Honda Motor Company to become a world power in the automotive fields. Mr. Honda's views went counter to the direction of his own government and yet his company has prospered. With innovation developed by Mr. Honda as a basis, the Honda Motor Company has become a technological force in the motorcycle and automobile industries in Asia, Europe, and North America.
