I would be embarrassed to put my kids in the backseat of the new Honda Prelude.

The new Honda Prelude is a luxury coupe, but with weird back seats that feel like an unfinished car. With high quality leather front seats and overly simple cloth backseats, the class differentiation is quite obvious. Let’s not forget about the barely safe, rear-seat headrests that probably won’t prevent whiplash. Granted, my 2000 Celica GTS also doesn’t have extended headrests, but that car is 26 years old and was 8 years before the “whiplash mandate.” The extended headrests are not a requirement for rear seats, but most automakers do it anyway to be consistent and increase safety.

Even worse - if you opt for the white leather seats, you really are placing solid boundaries between front and rear passengers, giving rear occupants an, “I am less than” vibe not just due to the different material, but because the rear seats are black cloth even if you pick the white leather seat option. This clip shows all.

Once again, the 26 year-old GTS has matching leather rear seats like the front and a cupholder for each rear passenger.

How many rear cupholders does the Prelude have? Zero.
