I'm not saying I would steal parts or want any of the parts...but I'm sure you can imagine how much these parts are worth on the street...not to mention just the "standard" Civic parts...

Well........ The dealership here in Florence recieved a Mugen Si. I went yesterday to take a look at it. Prepare yourself for stickershock....


...the OTD price, which included a $6,XXX "Market adjustment" was 36,800 dollars! Thats 16,000 dollars more than you can purchase an Si for!

Good luck with that Honda.

Funny...the Honda dealer in New Bern has a Mugen Si as well...they did not have a market adjustment, which sorta surprised me...their price was right at $30,700 or something like that... It was _alright_ and I just can't imagine buying a Civic for that amount of CASH.

Charging a $6k market adjustment is senseless...must be the same dealer that _still_ has an '05 on their lot.


Insurance is gonna be SKY-HIGH because that car is gonna be targeted for theft like crazy!!!

Bolt on parts...same color as a regular Si...

Shame...not sure how Honda got this approved...but then again, I'm still wondering how the CR made it!

I can see the thieves plotting this and crunching the numbers as we speak. They are probably running out of ITR's to steal anyways. Another round of EZ $ coming right up.

^ HAHAH I like that! Great picture, should say "FAILURE"

Its not even good looking, if they're charging that much they should give it AWD with some more power and make it a rally car like what Subaru/Mitsubishi did with their economy cars. Wonder if there are anymore that were broken into besides the one that was stripped at the dealership overnight.

If Honda had transplanted the RDX powertrain into this (240hp turbo AWD) they would never be able to keep them on the lots
