Prelude Competitors

Not really a tech question but just something I have been pondering for some time now... I own a 93 Prelude which is the first import car I've ever owned personally. Usually I have only ever owned classic cars, hot rods, etc. For quite a while now I have been thinking about selling my Prelude but cannot decide on another vehicle to buy. If I do not buy an SUV or 4x4 truck I will buy either something like a 67-69 Cougar, 69 Torino, etc or a 300zx TT. It's all up in the air right now. I love my prelude, it's a great car and has never let me down but I get bored with the power. It's my daily driver, I bought it to save gas when prices were high but the milage I get out of it isn't amazing for a 4 cylinder and I figured if I am going to get 19-23MPG or around there I might as well sacrifice a little more fuel milage and get a quicker car or even a rear wheel drive one at that. My question here is for around the same price I can get a 4th or 5th gen Prelude which is another car I can get with more power, still reliable, etc? In it's time what were the competitors of the Honda Prelude? I am guessing things like Nissan 240sx, Integra, etc. I don't care for a Acura RSX or similar car, IMO they remind me of a girls car. Sure they make great power for a 4 cylinder and are sought after import cars but its' just not me.
Thanks for any oppinions and suggestions!

Acura Integra/RSX = FWD.
Prelude has more power than the other cars you mentioned.
Prelude gets same gas mileage as the other cars you mentioned.
Prelude looks far better than the other cars you mentioned.

As for your gas mileage, you should be seeing better. I get 25mpg with 50/50 city/hwy and I drive like a madman.
