LAS VEGAS /PRNewswire/ -- American Honda Motor Co., Inc., today revealed a prototype Civic MUGEN Si Sedan prepared by legendary Honda tuner MUGEN equipped with a high performance suspension, forged aluminum wheels, aerodynamic body styling and a sport exhaust system at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Planned for production in a limited quantity of 500 units a year, the Civic MUGEN Si will be available at U.S. Honda dealers starting in spring 2007 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of way less than $30,000 and a full factory warranty.
"Enthusiasts have equated the name MUGEN with JDM Honda performance for decades, and with the introduction of the Civic Si Sedan, the time is right for the two companies to once again join forces," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. "A MUGEN-tuned vehicle available directly from the factory provides the ultimate level of performance, quality and refinement in a specially-tuned car."
The track tuned suspension, tested at the Twin Ring Motegi racing circuit in Japan, lowers the vehicle by 0.6 inches with aggressive spring and damper tuning for enhanced handling performance while still maintaining a high level of ride comfort. Compared to the stock Civic Si Sedan, front and rear damping force (both bump and rebound) was increased between 8- and 24-percent (the rate varies depending on condition). Lightweight 16.7-pound 18x7.5-inch forged aluminum wheels (27 percent lighter than the stock 17x7 alloy wheel) and high-grip BFGoodrich(R) g-Force KDW 215/40ZR18 summer tires help to further create MUGEN's rewarding and well-balanced handling performance character.
The full-vehicle aero-package adds a front spoiler with a sports grille (with special MUGEN Si emblem), side spoilers, a rear bumper diffuser and a rear wing. The sports exhaust system reduces exhaust system back pressure from the catalytic converter back, resulting in an enhanced power curve. Additional accoutrements include front and rear MUGEN emblems outside. Inside, a serial number placard is located on the instrument panel along with a spherical 50 mm MUGEN shift knob.
The name MUGEN symbolizes Honda performance throughout Asia and around the globe. MUGEN, under license by M-TEC Co., Ltd., of Japan, has been closely associated with Honda for more than three decades in the design and manufacture of racing and premium aftermarket performance products.
Honda's activities at SEMA coincide with the November 1 on-sale date of the new-for-2007 Civic Si Sedan. The Civic Si Sedan embraces the style and performance of the Civic Si Coupe and marks the first time that "Si" performance has become available in a sedan body style.

Civic MUGEN Si Sedan Prototype Specs:

-Ride Height = -0.6 inches (5.3 inches total)
-Overall Length = +1.1 inches (177.8 inches total)
-Wheels: Forged GP 18x7.5 (pattern 5H-114.3 +4
-Color: Fiji Blue Pearl



Honda says its Civic Si Sedan went on sale on November 1 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $21,290, plus $595 for destination and handling.

2007 Civic Si Sedan models include:

197-horsepower, 2.0-liter i-VTEC(TM) 4-cylinder engine
6-speed manual transmission with helical-type limited slip differential
Exclusive exterior features include rear deck spoiler wing and Si emblems
Standard 17-inch alloy wheels with P215/45 R17 87V tires
Side curtain airbags, front side airbags and dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags
Vehicle Stability Assist
Anti-lock brakes (with 4-channel ABS and Electronic Brake Distribution)
EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy of 23/32 miles per gallon
High-performance summer tires are available as a factory option, bringing the suggested retail price to $21,490.

The Civic Si Sedan is also available with a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Activation and XM Satellite Radio for the suggested retail price of $23,040 ($23,240 on vehicles with the high performance summer tire).

I wouldn't mine owning one. I just like my tC too much. Especially since I've started customizing.

 Not feelin' the 4 door. Looks just like an RSX with 2 extra doors. Not sure. The only 4 door sports cars I like would be the Evo and STI. Maybe they're going for a 4 door market, but I'm not liking this style. I saw one in Baltimore mid way through last month. They must have started selling it early last month. It didn't really catch my eye in a good way.

I can actually check at work when it came out b/c we rate motor copanies on their customer feedback...heh.........I'll check tomorrow.

 Agreed, never been a fan of digital dials like that. The floating shifter isn't cool to me either.

 we each have our own opinions.. but i personally love the digital mph.. and the rpm gauge by it self in the middle.. and the civic si sedan didnt come out yet it comes out this month in a couple of weeks or so.. so i doubt it was the sedan u saw.. but man.. if u drive one and feel how silky smooth the clutch ia.. haha

The floating shifter would be the one without being mounted in the center console. I don't find them too comfortable but again that's just me.

I'll find out tomorrow at work when the first sale was in the U.S. We have a database of all honda clients and when and what they bought by VIN. I can almost swear it said Si on the back and was the 4 door. But again, those badges can be bought anywhere.

Same here. My dad has a 95 impala SS, the only year of the 3 that they were made that had a digital mph, and all the 95 guys do a speedo conversion.
