The Honda Prelude was a popular sports car produced by Honda in five generations from 1978 to 2001. It was a two-door coupé, similar to the Honda Accord, and was the first Honda model to feature a moonroof, which became a standard feature throughout its production. Honda used the Prelude to introduce its Honda Verno retail sales chain in Japan, before releasing the model internationally.
The Prelude's production came to an end in 2001 with the introduction of the fourth-generation Integra. Interestingly, the name "Prelude" was originally trademarked by Toyota but was later given to Honda for use.
