Tuner Special: Mugen Honda Freed
TOKYO — That’s quick! Mugen, the longtime Honda tuning house, has already turned out a take on the new Honda Freed, the compact eight-passenger people mover that was just released last week in the Japanese domestic market.
The Mugen edition sports the usual exterior add-ons: front airdam, sport grille, side skirts, rear airdam and massive rear wing.
Under the skin, the Mugen Freed features upgraded suspension, brakes and muffler. Customers can select from several different 16-inch alloy wheels.
What this means to you: Mazda might want to pull a few cues from this one for its North American Mazda 5. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
