Just saw this in another forum, and I didn't see it on any of HT's topics.

Released lastnight in 2007 Mugen will release 500 Civic Si's to U.S. dealers!

here's the link.

If this is old news IM SORRY

Can you say theft magnet.

 

for a price of a EVO, you get an exhaust, wheels, suspension and a nifty mugen badge!

 

the Si gets a 5k markup, what do you think that will get.

 

no engine mods.

like said on vtec.net 30k is an evo ix rs price range

 

No thanks, I'll take an STI

That'll be over by January.

I'm probably going to get the base four door next year. For 20 grand it seems to be about the best new car value for a Dad who wants something that's fun, reliable and will hold it's value fairly well.

 

where's the MUGEN gif now? that describes exactly what's going on here

 

I bet there will be people camping over night at dealerships like this whole ps3 craze, then selling them on ebay

Indeed but you don't expect the Rocket Scientists of HT to look at things like reliability, durability, economics and maintenance intervals do you?

All they know is that, "Dat EVO is mad fast y0 fer teh cheap! I can star pickin on dem vettes dat were messin wif me in my EG f0 r34l!"

 

I totally agree for the price for a Civic, that still isn't a Type R, i'd rather have an Evo/G35

 

mugen finally in dealers, cool

 

this news would is the wet dream of many in the APC forum.

Starts at 23k and tops out around 25. It also doesn't hold it's value as well as the Honda and IMHO won't be as reliable.

My 04 3 held it's value very, very well. Just depends on where you're at I guess.

I paid $700 to drive it for a year and a half.
