I saw one two days ago at my local dealer and to be honest I thought it looked nice. I think the Mugen Si and the S2k CR are a step in the right direction for Honda regardless of their price tags.
All the techs that drove the car had the same comment..

-It drives the same as a regular Si.

Didn't know this thread existed, so pasting from my OP.

So I went to the dealer to check out the new Accord coupe and found....

A Mugen Si!! Took me off guard. Friend and I went to check out the V6 Accord coupe, but they only had the one in the showroom and one in the lot, both AT. We were walking around and there it was... The Fiji Mugen chilling in the back. Not bad looking but not really my cup of tea.

Some random salesman came up and started trying to talk us up like he knew something about it. He said the aftermarket is GREAT on these cars and all the aesthetics, suspension, etc was done. All we needed was to mod the engine. We mentioned that the K20 was pretty mod friendly for the RSX-S, and that's when the salesman figured out he didn't really know wtf we were talking about and walked off.

We could have drove off with it for the low low price of...


$34,695!! Same price as the red S2K right next to it.

You had a reason. We're just trying to contain everything in one thread so there aren't 15 different Mugen Si threads floating around. This makes it easier to find and discuss as a group.

My local dealer had one a week ago. Not sure if it's still there. It's a sweet looking ride. I'm still not certain I'd ever pay that much money for what little you get.

Yeah. I still don't get the whole thing really. You couldnt really mod it either. IDK.. its not me.. I'd rather get a used G35 sedan or something.. it may not be rare but much better.

MUGEN Spotted at Miami Beach International Car Show

I saw the Mugen Si at the Miami Beach Car show... I didnt really think it was worth that much... It looks like a fancy Si... Here are some pics!

Mugen sighting

I saw my first 2008 Mugen!!! Fiji Blue Pearl with fins. If it came as a coupe and a lethal anti theft security system I would've begged to take it home on the spot. If anybody is in the Long Island NY looking for one of these Jones Babylon Honda has one.

I just saw one today probably the one from Wade Raulerson Honda. When i first saw it i was like wait that doesnt look like a regular sedan. Then as i drove closer I was like OH SH** its a Mugen Si. They look pretty nice.
