I think that Honda will have to turn to turbo-charging sooner or later.
Some Mugen / Honda fans might be willing to buy a limited-edition $30K Civic, but the majority will not be.
$30K is Evo / Sti territory and should be backed up by Evo / Sti - level power. I don't see that happening with a 2.0 N/A motor.
There's already a turbo 2.4L available on RDX that will do wonders for Civics, TSXs and Accords (torque to the people). It is just a matter of time before it happens.

Honda says 1,000 copies of the Civic Mugen Si, shown as a SEMA concept last year, will hit US dealerships for around 30 large this October. It's outfitted with such sporting effects as a lowered, sport-tuned suspension, forged aluminum wheels, and full body dress. Under the hood will be the basic Si's 2.0-liter four producing 197 horses, and hooked to a six-speed manual. It's the first Mugen-tuned Honda to arrive in the states, though not the best, and hopefully not the last.
