I'm not sure of the color name, but I like that charcoalish color and the reds.

 

word, anyone see the mugen SI? I think that thing looks really nice. Would definitely be a nice DD?

I love my Si. It's a great daily driver, I traded in my EVO for it and don't regret it one bit. It's no Type R, but a fun "stock" car to drive to and from work. If I can get my hands on a Mugen, I'm trading in the new Si for it

 

i'm not too impressed with the Mugen Si.... $30k seems a little much for an Si w/ a mugen kit, 18'' rims, mugen tuned suspension, and a big wing on the back. since they are only making 500 i'm sure they won't have a problem selling them for the price... in the end it's still a civic...

 

Not to ruin a perfectly good thread, but an Evo is just a Lancer if you want to look at it that way...

 

being that I've owned 2 EVO's and now a 4 dr '07 Si, I can assure you that the Mugen Si will be well worth the money. Considering that the last EVO I got rid of was not even 3 years old with only 35000 miles on it, the most they were going for was around 18-19 thousand. so that's over a $10K loss in 3 years. I will guaruntee that a limited edition of 500 honda will hold resale way better than any EVO or STI. My '00 Type R is still worth the value of what I got for my '03 EVO. if you're not impressed, too bad. those who are willing to buy one surely will be though. I'm trying to trade in my '07 Si for the new Mugen model. my Si performs just as well as my EVO did, just not as powerful, but with the Mugen tuning on the suspension, I'm sure I'll be even happier

 

If you want one for the collector bit and to be exclusive, do it. If you just wan the increased performance, buy a set of coilovers and 18" wheels/tires and be done.

Either way, the new SI is a great car.

 

omfg! a lancer evo is still an evo right? a srt4 is still a neon right? nope, think outside the box and pull your head out your ass

 

that statement would be true if the Evo had the same engine and drive train layout as the lancer and the same brakes. i'm not hating on the Mugen Si but they could atleast throw in a Type R motor with more power.
