The most valuable thing of a limited edition car that is customized at the factory is that it holds its value extremely well. I owned a Mugen Si before and I enjoyed driving it much more than a regular civic si, but the best thing was the money I got from selling it. I kept it stock, babied it, and in the end recouped pretty much the extra cost I paid for it.
I figured the yuzu color being an RS color will be unique so I am betting that fine examples years later will still be worth much more than a regular one. That is, if the owner was even going to sell it.

You have a valid point. I personally agree that modified from the factory with genuine OEM parts has more value than aftermarket. Btw, I'm not as familiar in the Honda scene, but the Mugen Si is very appealing, indeed.
I know that Scion has come out with and will continue to come out with additional limited / special editions (judging from the pattern of the prior 10 Series and Monogram)... And this one might be the most tempting as of yet.
Wouldn't one think that the overall demand of these particular special editions diminish with the varieties and counting? Or more importantly, I should assume that these unique iterations much rather have the priority of satisfying the few who may be on the fence or on the look out for
that version.
