Not sure how this was missed.

Co-designed by Honda and MUGEN, the Civic MUGEN Si Sedan draws inspiration from a "Formula Sport" concept, adding an aggressive dimension of performance to the Civic Si Sedan with a Twin Ring Motegi track-tuned suspension, aerodynamic body styling and a performance exhaust system. The suspension lowers the vehicle by 15 mm with highly aggressive spring and damper tuning for enhanced handling performance. The full-vehicle aero-package adds a front spoiler and sports grille, side spoilers, a rear diffuser and an adjustable rear wing. The lightweight, MUGEN forged aluminum wheels measure 18 x 7.5 inches and include high-grip summer tires (215/40R18). Available in 2007, Honda will produce a limited release of 1,000 MUGEN Si sedans, which will carry an under-$30K pricetag.
I wouldn't mind having the suspension + wheel/tire package, and just do without the silly spoilers and ground effects. I get the feeling that it's going to be a bit more pricey than it's worth, though. Give the car some more mid-range power, and I think the package is attractive enough to strongly consider.
First, news of the S2000 CR, and now this. It's nice to see a car company offering some more hardcore options. I just hope they sell well enough to convince Honda to keep offering them.
