It is a 2006 Civic. Just a Mugenized form of it.


Mugen will probably sell all the parts in the US, but not the whole car, just as they've done with their SS S2000 kit.

It is FWD. Check out that bent/rounded Evo wing on the back.

I do think the new plain Lancer will resemble the Civic.
Just as the new Outlander looks like the new Rav 4. They all copy each other.

honda is coming out with the new acura turbo SUV. and besides, im sure honda knows what they're doing. i mean there was once a turbo City that they released years ago. and look at the new SH-AWD that they developed. its state of the art.

If, by state of the art, you mean copying what Porsche did 20 years ago, then I'd agree.

Honda has a very focused business model (as does Toyota). They're not going to make a car that doesn't fit that focus.
