The Honda Prelude is a sport compact car which was produced by Japanese car manufacturer Honda from 1978 until 2001. The two-door coupe was loosely derived from the Honda Accord and spanned five generations. The Prelude name was originally trademarked by Toyota, but was amicably given to Honda for use.

Re: How long will a Prelude last? I am doing my rebuild at 137,000 miles but that is because the previous owners did not take care of it at all. It is a Honda motor, it can easily last up to 200-250k miles when slightly abused and 500k if driven right its whole life.

An overture is a piece of music at the start of an opera or musical that tends to introduce the musical themes in the work. A prelude is like the introduction to a multi-movement piece of music. Overtures could be considered preludes, but most preludes are not overtures.

An introductory or preliminary performance or event; a preface. Etymology: From prelude, from preludium, from earlier praeludere.

“Prelude” was first used in the general sense of “something preliminary” and only later acquired its musical application, while “postlude” developed in the opposite direction, originating as a musical term before broadening to include other kinds of closings.

You probably know what a “prelude” is, and you probably know its close cousin, “interlude,” so you’re likely able to figure out that “postlude” is the something that comes after.

Therefore, an interlude is something ‘between the play(s)’ and a prelude is something ‘before the play’.
