The rectangular lights make the car look slow, not fast. The rear end shares the chopped looked of the past Prelude, but without any style to it. The overall impression is one of dourness, sobriety. And the shame of that is that the Prelude remains a hoot to drive. In a week of driving, I never felt a need for more power.
