Sorry, I know that this is an old and forgotten thread, but you guys never invited me to your party!

I have liked all of my cars, but ever since my Prelude died, I have wanted another, specifically, a 1990-91 4WS. My '87 had legroom that I never found anywhere else, it had a relatively small engine, and it was officially fun to drive:

"In 1987, Road & Track published a test summary that shows the 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS outperforming every car of that year on the Slalom, including all Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches. It went through the slalom at 65.5 mph (105.4 km/h), an amazing result for the time. For reference, the 1988 Corvette took the same course at 64.9 mph (104.4 km/h).

"The Prelude was Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 1987."

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Prelude]

Since I found this site, I have wanted to aeromod a Prelude. I figured that if I found one that had been rear-ended, it would make it that much easier to make a boat tail, but only if I could make it look good.

With four-wheel steering, rear skirts would be more complicated, but no more than the front.

I think that could work out very nicely.

By the way, Steering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia lists a bunch of 4WS vehicles.
