Seen a few around TRD Aurions around Melbourne, but they're a pretty rare sight.

Not sure about the probability of seeing Mugen spec Hondas in Australia, they currently have the whole Mudulo design thing going with the City atm. Will just be a matter of time Honda chooses to adopt it for the whole product range. Though i know for a fact that our neighbors the kiwis can get a the V6 Accord with Mugen body works across the range. All exterior mods and nothing under the hood. I srsly don't think theres a big enough demand for fast 4-bangers in Australia that are also pretty expensive. Aussies will continue and probably love their 30+L/100km unleaded drinking V8s.
meh body kits dont interest me, im talking suspension and engine mods.
and aussie will keep loving them, seeing as the new cylinder deactivation stuff is coming and v8's are getting decent fuel economy.
