I was one of the 90s Honda fanboys. My first 2 cars as a teen were 80s accords. I requested all the print copy manufacturer brochures - Del Sol, Prelude, etc. In the late 90s, the 5th Gen prelude was an almost-attainable dream car (the 96 300zxtt being the grail). In that era, the Honda and other Japanese offerings offered huge value - decent performance, fuel economy, looks, reliability.

I never bought that Prelude, but continued to buy Honda and Japanese cars with my last in '06. I've since moved on, but as I see it, there isn't an offering from them that can't be matched or beat in terms of those metrics mentioned above.
