I wouldn't be suprised if the ballooon had a $300 markup. It's filled with that special "mount Fuji air" straight from Japan

i cant wait to see one on the road, then point and laugh.

can anyone justify paying $35k for a 200hp 4cyl sedan??

evo,sti,lexus is, the list just goes on.....

rare? we'll see how rare it is when there are knock-offs of the body kit,exhaust, shift knob, and trim pieces in 2 months.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I think it's more hype for the mugen fanboys than anything.
You are so jealous. Just admit it. The reason why I can care less about it is because we were screwed way before this car came out. There is nothing special about it. What's special is the Mugen RR out in Japan. Even the Type R is special! We got screwed real bad.

take a look at this ad picture for a 08 mugen. Look how much gas is left. I thought the cars came full from the factory? if not this car has been around the block and is selling as new.

many people DO buy cars for investment purposes.. look at the people way back when that bought the 69-71 Pontiac GTO Judge at the price it was back then and look how much that car is worth now if it was kept in pristine condition and has low miles. $$$$ you ever seen the Barrett Jackson auctions?? from the looks of things there i'd say that cars are pretty good investments if they're limited and exclusive

Did you catch the MSRP? How much are they asking on the markup? Looks pretty tight.

I think the Mugen Si is insulting to Honda fans......If they wanted to give the fans something, they should have given them the Type-R. Now that is a car worth paying more for......Not some re-badged appearance package made to steal people's money.....

Well excuse me for trying to help out the people that are interested in the car. Ya know its people like you that say nothing relevant so that they show a lot of posts. Try actually saying something constructing or nice. But don't say something just to say it.

The lens on my phone is broken, thats why it is all foggy. Ohhh and the asking price was 34000.
