There’s been a lot of hate for the forthcoming 2026 Honda Prelude, which will be fully revealed later this year. Some of it has been justified, but there’s one area that perhaps we and the rest of the internet have been overly critical of: the e-CVT transmission Honda’s giving it. I’ll admit, we at CarBuzz have been referring to the transmission in the same way Honda does, calling it an e-CVT, but, here’s the thing, it’s not actually a CVT at all.
