2010!!!

i saw that civic when i was home in europe, few years ago, before moved out here, not the mugen , but same stuff different model! hahah

alot cheaper too, lol 64k, no **** and only 237hp and 157 lb-ft
i think honda is aiming WAY TOO HIGH for its own good
unless your farting money out your a**, and are a die hard honda maniac, you can get something more classy, few thousand less, and double the HP

bmw m3 comes to mind, hahah
or skyline for a few 6k more lol

The only good thing about this car is the motor. And the wing..... Didn't I see that wing under the rice section.... just my opinion.

i think the wing looks like the one on the new Eclipse and the interior is sexy. Ilike how the guages are clusterd together in a row. Also i like the little control module that looks like it would control the suspension.

I like the oil fill cap, that's about it.

As someone stated earlier, they will difinitely sell. There is always a buyer out there and since this is a very limited production run, the rich Honda fanboy's will buy them up.

beautiful interior, but i think the hatch with the split window (like a insight/prius) looks rediculous.

Britain gets hit hard with vehicle pricing.

the reason it's so expensive in american money is because it's made in britain. if it was made here it'd be cheaper.

I like how this Mugen gets the BBK, RRC manifold, induction system and a huge bump in power, unlike the bling bling Mugen here.

I'm telling you, it's payback for Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

Even Mugen couldn't make the FN2 look good.

[QUOTE=Utilitarian;40988032]Not so sure about that...


It is fricken called an H20A in the Type R. And don't mix up the two Type Rs that exist. The Euro version of the Si is called the Type R...

Look it up.
