I saw one of these at my dealer today...

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshows/sema/2006/2008hondacivicmugensisedan.html#08hondacivicmugenr34160

They say only 500 are being made a year, and my tiny tiny dealer, has one...

Now, I'm not a big fan of Honda, but, for some reason, I realllllly like this one, I sat in it, and shifted through all the gears, and it was so solid, and so short, it was nice....

However, the 30,000 price tag, wasn't.

My Honda dealer has one, too. Sweet little cars for sure, but def not worth anywhere near 30 grand. Guess this one will be left to all the JDM Honda fanboys out there.....

What a major rip off.  Your paying 10 grand for what may be a grand in parts.

Oh, most definitely not over an Evo or a WRX or even an STi, but still, it was a nice car...

I'm half tempted to drive it, just to see how it is...

I know it'll be no where near the STi, WRX, or even teh Evo I've driven, but I'm tempted, I've never driven a Honda, cuz I just, greatly hate them... THAT much...

Hell, I've only ridden in a handful of them.... lol

Yeah, me and a buddy popped into our local honda dealer to check out one of these they had on display. I think they wanted 34000 for the one they had, after seeing that we asked what you get for the extra $ all the dealer could say is "its got the ground effects and suspension"  My buddy who is an avid SRT-4 owner replied "So does JC whitney!"  I thought it was a pretty good comment and it shut the dealer up real quick.

Correct.

2coff: If it were a different brand you'd probably be right about only 1 grand in parts but have you ever seen the pricing on anything with the mugen name on it?  It's absolutely retarded how much they can charge for their stuff and people still pay it.

you won't be allowed to drive it there. only the salesman can drive a car like that until they get a credit app from you to see if you can buy it. I hated selling cars there
