all u get with this car is a bunch of mugen whore stamps, different but also available to buy areo kit, a useless tuned exhaust, a suspention i cant comment on cuz i dont know about it but im sure from everthing else on the car its just the hfp suspention with mugen whore'd on it. You also get the same motor as any other si, along with the same great paint job, the ever so popular 3rd gear, and the superior interior quality that we all already have and for a lot more money.... Im not really a fan of the gp wheels they dont look that badass and they r forged, so what.... Anybody seen the newer 350rims and infiniti? They r forged too, made by rays, and look really badass stock...i dont get how they could market this mugen si and still have all these performance parts and still not a bit of change under the hood...... im no impressed...

You're my friend, but that is completely wrong. It would take a shitload of years for you to make an profit out of a car that is retail 30k and you are spending 40k+ on it. This ranks among Cybergypsy bragging about the 4g iphone will be worth a lot down the road. Then she sold hers a month later. I don't think this will be the only mugen si sold in the states

Exactly. The new GT-R (if kept in VERY low production numbers) will be worth something, that's for sure.

If your buying a car for an investment purpose then you need to check your finances, because automotives are rarely considered a good idea for long-term high end return.

In other words, buy the car so you can drive like it should be driven, not for an investment.

It was in the service lane, just got there I suppose. It had a sign that said pull to PDI with the key in the door. I was tempted to get in it.

....over..... $40k civic w/pinstripe.....this dealership must be nuts.... im sure some nerdy young kid with $rich$ parents will buy out out the floor thinking its a good gas mileage 4 door car since its a Honda. Smart people dont buy Civics for over $25k.

you would have to be an idiot to pay 30k for a civic...even 20k is spendy for a civic...I don't think they will sell, and why would someone buy the mugen when they can buy the EVO, STI, G35, etc... its no contest...and it doesn't even break 200hp? lol...what a joke....now every car forum is going to make fun of honda for making a stupid car for a stupid price..thanks..

comon.... i came across this kid who spent 26K for his NHBP in 06....he was one of the 1st to get it. His parents bought it for him.....

so why not spend 4k more ?

there are brainless people with money..... and HONDA knows it.
