Sales
Sales were not strong, particularly due to competition from Honda's other offerings. The sixth-generation Accord coupé received an exclusive front fascia, rear tail lights, wheels and many other body panels, being now marketed as a somewhat separate model from the family-oriented sedan - although its sedan roots gave it much more utility than the reportedly cramped Prelude. The sixth-generation Civic Si coupé has also gained a reputation in its own right and was considerably less expensive than the Prelude. Vehicle exterior dimensions of the Prelude were no longer in compliance with Japanese government regulations, and the additional costs contributed to the popularity of smaller Honda products.
