This is an incredible Car! Mugen will produce only 300 of these vehicles, and if you are one of the lucky ones to order one (and pay the almost $40,000USD price tag, you can have it in any colour you want…..as long as it is Milan Red!
For the ultimate in high-performance honda civic tuning kits, civic accessories and body parts you have to at least consider Mugen and this video shows why! we will try to follow up with more about this car, because it is pretty far out!
This is a pretty cool Honda Civic commercial - I think it is from 2006. Hmmm, I think I want to go to the ‘dotcom’ address, I wonder why? You see a commercial like this and you just want to buy the car, it doesn’t even need any honda civic body parts, it just looks cool as it is!
Thought they were all made in Japan or Asia? Well guess again, the honda factory in Swindon in the UK has manufactured more than 1 million Honda Civic’s since it opened on September 19, 1994. In it’s first year, the Swindon factory turned out just 6,652 Civics and by last year (2007) the factory was turning out more than 135,000 per year! (that is quite the growth curve!).
The ‘one millionth’ Honda Civic to come of the line is a Red Type-R and according to Ken Keir, Managing Director of Honda (UK) and Senior Vice President of Honda Motor Europe, “Civic remains the cornerstone of our UK and European success. Customers love its innovative design and build quality, which not only retains a huge loyal customer base, but is key to us winning new sales across Europe.”
