Uncivilized: Mugen's Road to Racing Civic Concept
So, there's really no forthcoming information about this car. It's red. It's got a tuner-rific body kit. It's called the "Road to Racing Concept" and that's about all Mugen will tell anyone. It looks a lot like last year's Dominator concept, but we have no idea if the Road to Racing Civic is sporting the supercharged KA20 underhood, like the Dominator. What exactly is meant by "road to racing" is also a mystery - it certainly doesn't look like a decontented homologation special. Do they mean that it's akin to the ACR Neon? We just don't know, and until somebody gives Mugen spokespeople a waterboarding, we'll have to be patient. It certainly looks like a snarly little thing.

By the looks of it, some of the body parts are from the Canadian CSX.

Nice....I'll go for the body kit. The Current Civic 4 door is butt ugly.

This is a great look for the Civic - one of the best performance mod kits I've seen for any vehicle.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo NO SOUL, it has no soul. Unlike my Chevy Monte Carlo,yeah, Japs can not make soulful cars.
Yep, my monty goes from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds and still gets 45 MPG, yep Japs are losers. Americans make the best

It looks like it wants to be an Evo.

Why's there all this stuff for the Sedan but not the coupe? This makes me sad :-(

I'm no Honda fan myself, but I'd be willing to bet the above concept car will go around any corner more quickly than your (horribly front-heavy) Monte Carlo.

Aside from that big stupid wing that's the best looking civic I've ever seen.
Almost makes me want one.
Of course I could probably buy an Acura for what that civic and all the tacked on stuff costs.

#1 The Canadian CSX is the Japanese Civic
I love my Civic SI Coupe with the HFP Kit and 18" Wheel, but this so much cooler...
I wonder if Mugen has dealers in the US selling their accessories...

It looks like a bunch of crap tacked onto a civic. Some silly gills on the hood, some ground effects, and a spoiler that would make much more sense on something other than a tarted up economy car. Maybe Mugen could make some headlights for this car that don't look like they're from a Saturn Ion. It would do more good than a bunch of triangles in the front bumper.
