None studio shots:

 

 

Holy Crap! the front is very weird, but im amazed that mazda would not wait till next week to debut. WOW

 

i lika da sauce!

i want those damn seats.....

 

THATS SO HOT!!!!

my rx-8 its for sale!

 

those seats are the shiz-bomb-biznit hahaha. anyone notice the removable looking panel on the engine cover?

 

VR for sale here too!!!

 

Yep, thats what I like too. And the front strut bar is triangulated. The engine cover has a pop-off hole to get to the oil dip stick.

 

you know what? i like mine better.

 

I see a few things I plan to buy if they make it over to the states....

but overall; not super thrilled.

 

Not too bad.

 

Seats are hot, wheels look good, dunno about the front, looks just like a regular bodykit other than a major upgrade or face lift.

 

imo if lowered it'd look worlds better...

 

it's the same engine, hope there's some more HP there

 

Here are some color changes I did:

 

I think it looks good.

 

I like it! I want to buy some stuff of the car, like the seats

 

I likkkkeeee your white version!

Does the triangular strut bar make some sort of difference? Why else would they change such a seemingly trivial part?

 

Lowered.

 

Thanks Hanzo. Quasi oil gauge gone! I like everthing but the front.

 

yes!

Oh and I found this interesting - so those pre-released pics that were "debunked" were apparently dead on (minus the rims). Maybe this was the reason mazda felt comfortable releasing the official pics?

 

Wheels are hot... but i wouldnt buy them alone... It would just be hot to get with the car....

Looks like you could take an 04-07 and put a kit on it, and add those hot seats and make the same car... It is kinda cool though.

 

I think the front numper looks lame. It looks like the car has an overbite.

I also dislike the new steering wheel.

The rest looks OK, the only thing I like is the seats.


I can't wait till people with 2004-2008 start buying bumpers and misc parts to make their older car look like the STANDARD 2009 car, while the 2009 people buy aftermarket bumpers so theirs don't look like the standard rx-8.

 

Oh, forgot to mention I'm not a fan of the interior (including seats). Definitely don't like the interior color...
