I have no idea if this is a repost, but I got really excited when I found out 500 of these are actually going to hit the states. This is one of the closest thing we can get a hold on besides the 07 JDM Civic Type R.

"The "H" will be offering its first-ever Civic Si Sedan with aftermarket parts sourced from the holiest of holy JDM Honda tuners - Mugen. That's right, you will be able to walk into your Honda dealer and pick up a Mugen-equipped Civic Si sedan for less than $30K.

Give us a minute here... we still can't wrap our heads around that last sentence. Mugen - the Japan-based Honda tuner whose parts are track-proven, better than OEM-quality, uber-expensive and ultra-rare - will now be selling some of its wares through everyday U.S. Honda dealers?" - http://cars.ign.com/articles/744/744435p1.html

Please post more info if you know about this!

 

Love the enthusiasm but how is this ITR related...

 

Interesting...

However it's still a civic, and it's still a 4-door. BUT, that's just IMO!!!!

Carry on, and good find. Those will be snatched up quick.

 

i predict highest theft rate ever of an US car.

 

30K for that? no thanks. Ill wait for the real CTR or just keep my R

 

f this, bring over the CIVIC TYPE R!

Back in the mid 80s you could buy Mugen parts at Honda dealers, but this is the first time you could get them already installed on the car from the factory.

This was announced months ago, but Ive never seen a date as to when the car will be available. The car, while cool, is hardly worth $30k and dont forget to throw in the dealer markups

 

i wonder if you could order mugen parts through honda after it becomes released..umm...

 

I know of a Honda dealership that still gets spoon parts.

 

This is old news from the 06+ forum. Still a good post for this one though in my opinion.

 

I'm interested to see how this thing performs since it is so boldly strutting the Mugen badge. I really hope it's not just a gussied-up Civic with a $9k premium over the Si... Then again - pretty sure Mugen isn't real interested in putting their name on a piece of crap, so this might be more than we are expecting based on the descriptions thus far.

All that said, I agree this is likely just another ****-poor attempt to appease the 'Stupid Americans' with everything but a Type-R. I'm not sure if it's Honda NA or Honda Japan that is making these decisions, but somebody's got to face facts that R's are good for America and we want them right now.

I feel a little better. (not much)

 

Sorry, but $21,700 (roughly 250 over invoice) for a base model Mazdaspeed3 that will RUN CIRCLES around that thing is a far better investment.

This is just another insult to our inteligence an HOA's part.

CTR sedan or bust!!!

 

No more power than stock (doubt the exhaust does much), barely better than stock suspension...

Nah. My guess is a 5k markup.

 

its nice, but yeah it'll get stolen with a quickness

i doubt the theft rate will be very high, its a 06 si with wheels/body kit/exhaust, its not a dc2 itr or integra gsr

 

Big time repost.

With only 2000 of them being made. I don't think you'll have to worry about theft rates or even seeing one in person, anytime soon.

Only the parts offered on the Mugen Si would be available through the dealerships if and when it happens.

Makes it that more rare then doesnt it.
I was thinking of CR.

 

IMO i would never spend that kind of money on any civic. There is alot better things out there for the money. Huge waste of money in IMO, but whatever people like

i think i rather spend the money on :

http://automobiles.honda.com/f...p+bus

 

is it already in dealers? its been spring 2007

 

It should be in soon, and yes people will ****** these up. People in general already spend nearly 30k on highly accessorized civics all day long.

i believe i mentioned this can be the next best thing that American can get a hold of after the 07 JDM CIVIC <U>TYPE R</U>. To me, this post is very much related in many ways if you love the 07 jdm CTR

Call me jaded, but that next best thing is pretty freakin far from the best thing.

I do hope for brisk sales of the Mugen Si. Hopefully it will lead to the actual best thing coming our way.
