Honda Built a Coupe That Steered All Four Wheels - Then Forgot It. The Prelude Story

The story of the Honda Prelude, the sporty coupe that kept inventing things: a standard sunroof, a super-low hood, the first mechanical four-wheel steering system on a production car, a torque-shifting differential, and a high-revving VTEC engine. Why it was loved, why it faded away, and why Honda has chosen to bring the name back.
