I think that these Honda dealers who plan to overprice the Mugens are in for a sad awakening. While people would undoubtedly love to get one, even the retail price is a bit steep. Add in dealer markup and they could very well languish on showroom floors. $34,000 is a joke. I just can't see people shelling out so much above retail for a Mugen. After all, it isn't a Shelby GT 500 where the demand is so great.

Reminds me of when the first Mini Coopers came out. Because they were backordered, the dealer here was charging close to $32,000 for an S model. I told the guy to shove it. I said I could buy a G35 for close to that. I did just that and am glad that I bought a G35 over a Mini Cooper S.
