So apparently you have many things to say about our first topic. I'm hot. But I would like to start. I would like to start. We're going to talk about the brand new prelude, which just got announced a couple days ago. But the thing I want to talk about is the fact that every now and then, you and I say something and pieces of it come back to us.

The point I'm making here is when you and I recently drove, and it's on our test track channel, we recently drove the current gen Civic hybrid.

And we talked about the fact that it had in a hybrid system the same power as the

SI, which we really like.

Yeah.

And we spent the back part of that review talking about if this only existed with the Civic

SI manual, wouldn't it be cool, Civic SI better seats, a little bit better suspension,

essentially make the hybridized, sporty version of the Civic Hybrid, it would be a score.

Yes.

And along comes the Honda Prelude.

You're right.

And that's why I'm kind of, uh, upset is the wrong word.

Okay.

I have thoughts and feelings about it.

I can tell.

Yeah.

I didn't think I did. Hmm. As soon as it got announced, I thought, oh, prelude. And then everybody saw the horsepower and torque numbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 200 horsepower, 232 pound feet of torque. Which is more than the SI, by the way. Yes, it is. And then people started reading, oh, no manual. It's not real, it's front wheel drive only. How does this slot against? What does it compete against?

What is this? Where's the competitor from Honda for the GR-86 and the Miata? Sure. Where is that car?

Yeah. So I dug in further. I started really reading the specs and really trying to understand Honda's headspace. Here it is. I want to start with styling. And I like that we have the side elevation here to show you and ask the question. What is the most aerodynamic and hydrodynamically efficient shape? Shapes. A tear drop? A wing or a teardrop, right? Yeah. Because I got that right, everybody. You did get it right. Because I thought, oh, man, it doesn't have the power to compete with a GRD6 and Miat is going to be lighter and it's probably going to be too expensive.

And everybody's asking the question, no manual.

Oh, what is this S plus shift that Honda's talking about?

And it's a hybrid and what are we doing here?
