Just last month at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tokyo-motor-show/">Tokyo Motor Show</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> revealed its new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/20/honda-vezel-hybrid-fit-cuv-tokyo-2013/">Vezel</a> crossover, a production version of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/14/honda-urban-suv-concept-detroit-2013/">Urban SUV concept</a> that debuted at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a>. According to new reports, the model already has a three-month waiting list in Japan alone. But that doesn't mean Honda's tuning division, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mugen/">Mugen</a>, is waiting around to spruce it up.<br />
<br />
Pictured here is the Mugen-tuned version of the Vezel leaked from a sales brochure in Japan. While there's not much information to go on, Mugen's take on the Vezel appears to be wearing a custom aero kit, with more pronounced lower bumpers and side sills, a more Acura-like grille treatment and different wheels.<br />
<br />
Whether we'll ever get a Mugen package like this when the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/honda+fit/">Fit</a>-based CUV arrives in North America remains to be seen, but we've historically gotten very few of these tuned-up Hondas. In fact, we're still not even sure what the tiny crossover will be called when it arrives here, but something tells us it won't arrive carrying the Vezel moniker.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/16/honda-vezel-mugen-leaked/">Honda Vezel leaked in Mugen trim</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 16 Dec 2013 15:31:00 EST.
