2006 prelude? my friend just told me that there might be a 2006 prelude but it will be rear wheel drive and have the f20(s2000) motor in it.. 
he works at a dealership and his managers told him..
i know alot of people will say "wont believe it till i see it"..but is this new or old news?

I don't know if it's new or old news but I personally believe that it is fake news lol~ Basically Honda Prelude is discontinued and that means Prelude is gone. If there is a chance that Prelude is coming back in 2006, it would be officially claimed by Honda not your friend's managers~ Some people just love to BS I guess~ I've heard about so many rumors such as the 2005 Civic Type R, 180HP Civic coupe, or even funnier ones like Civic with "V8" motor... I think you're the first one who started talking about the 2006 Prelude by the way~

Rep Power: 344 Why would they make a totaly new rear drive f series powered coupe if all they have to do is throw a fixed roof on the S2000? Which i have seen concepts of.

Rep Power: 0 i am working right now(at my honda dealership) and they said that the prelude will never come back. when they were on the market everyone wanted them but no one wanted to pay for them. if it had a s2000 motor in it, it would cost even more and then nobody would want it. because of the insurance preiums and that lack of a selling audience the prelude was stopped. they more than likely won't bring it back.
Just wanna add one more comment here~ The Prelude is not only discontinued in U.S, but also gone in Japan. Since Honda in Japan decided to discontinue Prelude, there is no chance that Honda in U.S would be able to bring it back. Prelude is not a bad car at all, but not a worthy car as well...

I don't know what Honda is planning but I do think they should get a powerful compact coupe, something smaller than the Accord coupe. If Honda did make it, it's number 1 competition would already be the RX-8.

Rep Power: 347 ^^ I don't know about a turbo (gasoline) TSX, but there were plans on an AWD european Accord Estate (the wagon version of the TSX). I heard about that after they said they would produce a diesel turbo Accord, which they did...(in Europe)

Rep Power: 0 The one you saw had the optional Hardtop you can purchase from Honda for a couple grand. They are planning on a straight up coupe, there's been a few prototypes out there. That would be a very appealing package, as it would weigh quite a bit less than a convertible or convertible with the hardtop on it...

Seeing is believing~=) Don't blame on that dude tho since he wasn't the first person who spread out the stupid rumor. V8 engine with 415HP...Honda doesn't even plan to put this motor in a NSX...Can't believe some people believed this...

Rep Power: 0 they are making the coupe version because the insurance is just too high for the cars intended market. the car is geared to a younger market, who also can't afford them. honda does offer an hard top that comes factory painted and cost 2500 bucks. there are other retailors that have them. one guy that dropped of his s2000 at the shop knew someone with a c/f top.

Rep Power: 360 Civic SI coupe = finally
New prelude RWD = awesome.
not everyone who wants the fun of the 10,000 rpm s2000 motor wants a 30,000 dollar 2 seater.
