Vicki drives Mugen Civic Type R with 20% more power and 10% more torque.
Finally Civic gets much needed power, but 60,000-dollar Civic!

I think Honda is loosing their minds. 60K? lets see.

2 new Evos almost.
BMW M3
BMW 335
Mercedes C63 AMG
Cadillac CTS-V

I mean these cars are not far from 60K but no I won't choose those cars. I really could not wait to buy a 60k Honda Civic. ahahaaha what are they thinking about.

no! Wait! are they expecting monopoly money? if they do I might get it.

You know what they say; "there are 20 suckers born every minute"

hmm..I think that civic needs to regress generations...the models are getting uglier looking...I agree with the above posts...for 60k...you could buy a BMW or something else.

For 60K I could buy a used Integra Type R, fully build the motor and the suspension, slap some mugen parts on it and still have money left over to buy something to beat around the city in.

I'd rock it and not very many are being made. I think that explains the price.
