Mugen goes Crossroading
Click image for Mugen wallpapers
Mugen wastes no time when it comes to offering accessories for new Honda models, and the debut of the Crossroad means that a full suite of tasty upgrades is available already. Those of you who find the Crossroad's Ford-esque grille off-putting take note: Mugen addresses the matter with a solid single-bar unit of its own. We like it.
Naturally, there's an aero kit to give the blocky CUV a lowered, more tunerrific look. No suite of upgrades would be complete without the obligatory aftermarket wheels, which in this case are available in a trio of finishes. A pair of sport mufflers are available, as well. One uses traditional round outlets, while another uses custom-shaped tips that blend perfectly with the new Mugen rear skirt.
A bevy of trim pieces can be had as well, ranging from Mugen-branded license plate bolts to metallic covers for the rearview mirror. There's plenty more, so browse through their site to see everything there is to be had. Of course, it's all for fun, since we can't buy a Crossroad here anyway, but there's never anything wrong with a little window-shopping, right?

WOOO-HOOO, now it loos like an old model Infinit QX45...or whatever Infiniti called it's old Pathfinder based SUV.
If I download a image of Mugen's to use as wallpaper, do I have to pay a ridiculously huge fee for it?

I love Honda's aftermarket company, Mugen. This Crossraod Mugen is tight!
For you dumbness, yes you have to pay Howard....even though there is no amount of money could equal your brain knowledge.

This is cool. Looks practical too. I just hope it's not too heavy. Practigal and frugal is the way to go.
Looks good.
I agree, Mugen kicks ass.

Well I think Mugen could have purchased a refrigerator, turned it over, and tuned that. I think that way you'd get approximately the same effect really and, economically, I think that would almost make more sense. This is all pretty odd, is what I am getting at.

HOLY CRAP.
As much as I'm not feeling the regular "Crossroad", this Mugen version looks positively fantastic. Good work, guys.

Looks like a GM attempt at copying the xB. I just don't care for the bar grill on this, the Hondas, Fords and especially the Acuras.

GET A CLUE:
HONDA MOTORS AMERICA NEEDS TO SNAP OUT OF IT. I USED TO THINK THAT ONLY SOMEONE AS STUPID AS MARK FIELDS COULD MISS JUST HOW FAVORABLY AMERICAN BUYERS WOULD RESPOND TO THE HONDA CROSSROAD HERE IN THE STATES. BUT IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE I WAS WRONG. BOTH IT AND THE ELEMENT SHOULD ALREADY BE ROLLING OUT OF THE SAME HONDA ASSEMBLY PLANT HERE IN THE U.S., WITH THE CROSSROAD SHARING THE SAME DRIVETRAINS WITH THE PILOT. WHY ISN'T HONDA ALREADY ON TOP OF THIS...? WAIT JUST A MINUTE, HERE. HAS TOM LASORDA ALREADY SET UP CAMP AT HMA? I WONDER... I'M DAN SMITH FROM SQUARE-ONE AUTOMOTIVE.
