Why?

I mean as competition to what? Most of the market is going turblown-econoboxen, honda is coming out with that to compete? In the US market?

Its torque (160 lb-ft) and horsepower (238) numbers are similar to the 8, but it weighs about 300 lbs less. So it *should* be a little faster than the 8.

I wouldn't even care if they called it Mugen RR or Mugen RRR or Mugen RRRRR; it's probably a faster car than the 8 regardless. And it doesn't look bad at all.

Give credit where credit's due. It's not like everything else is **** except for the 8.

There's a Mugen one coming to the states but it doesn't boast the power that that one does. It's faster in Japan; carrying more around 30 hp more than the A-spec version. The Mugen one coming to the states is different from the SI by suspension, wheels, and aerodynamics.

They are only making 300 RR's in Japan and only in Milano Red.
I believe 2000 of those Mugen Civics are coming to the states.

Check out the Honda concept page...
