Mysterious Crash by Mugen Honda Civic
In a bizarre story out of England, a Honda Civic Mugen R took out two Jaguars at a static exhibit at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, injuring a Jaguar XKR and the oldest surviving Jaguar E-Type in existence.
The circumstances behind the accident are a little suspect. Some reports state that the driver was revving the engine of the running car, while the official statement from Goodwood officials read as follows.
“At 12:40 today, an incident occurred within the exhibition hall at the Goodwood Moving Motor Show when a driver of a slow moving car blacked out, lost control of his vehicle and injured four people,” said a Goodwood spokesperson.
“None of the four people involved have sustained any major injuries and have not been hospitalised. They have been treated on-site as a precaution.”
Either way, we’re left scratching our heads. If the vehicle was being hooned, then the revving story doesn’t hold water, since the clutch would have to be released for the car to go anywhere. The “blacking out” story is a little too vague as well and sounds like something is being suppressed.

Honda has a Secret Brand new coming soon
I dont have much information, but 8thCivic has noticed that Honda put together a site announcing a brand new model.
What exactly is Honda hyping? I don’t know. All the site says is:
A completely new Honda vehicle is on the horizon. We can’t tell you anything about it just yet, but if you sign up for the New Model newsletter, you’ll definitely be ahead of the curve.
I’m willing to bet the pictures of trees, water and clouds means it’s going to be a family car of sorts. Maybe a station wagon crossover like the Toyota Venza? It has been well known that Honda’s looking to re-enter the increasingly lucrative wagon market and reports of a sighting at a recent dealer convention in Las Vegas only fuel the rumors of a wagon crossover.
Recent Honda wagon spy shots confirm the interest but only time will tell us what the big surprise is. What do you think Honda’s up to?
