Not sure if you have all heard (sure you have), but we here in the US are getting a Mugen branded SI. Stock with better suspension, lower then the stock SI, longer then the SI, bigger/lighter wheels, stock body kit and limited edition (at least for the 08 model).

Here is the article:

2008 Honda Civic MUGEN Si Sedan Set for Fall Release

Not bad I suppose for under $30k, I was looking to get a new car this fall (was probably going to pick up an 07 S2000 since they dropped in price at my friends Honda dealership), but if I can get one of these it would be a lot better.

Nice!! the car is wearing my BFG KDW tires.... I love them!! But, in typical Honda fagness they are keeping the engine the same. Bunch of pussies!

Typical Mugen... huge price tag for not much performance.

Exactly what I thought.

When I saw the title, I got excited hoping for a better engine then the SI engine, but just like the S2000 CR it is just suspension, aerodynamics and some other stuff.

Pretty much just paying for the mugen name there, plus you gotta consider dealership markup, which I'm sure will be a lot since this is a Limited Edition car.
