Sales
Sales were not strong, particularly due to competition from Honda's other offerings. The sixth-generation Accord coupé received an exclusive front fascia, rear tail lights, wheels and many other body panels, being now marketed as a somewhat separate model from the family-oriented sedan - although its sedan roots gave it much more utility than the reportedly cramped Prelude. The sixth-generation Civic Si coupé has also gained a reputation in its own right and was considerably less expensive than the Prelude. Vehicle exterior dimensions of the Prelude were no longer in compliance with Japanese government regulations, and the additional costs contributed to the popularity of smaller Honda products.

Famous quotes containing the word sales:
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you.... Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love—every man works his oar voluntarily!”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
