Yeah.
They should buy canzoomers ( MAURICES STAGE 1 KIT )AND improve the performance of the RX8.
More choice on the colours ?? WHITE , NAVY BLUE AS IN X - MEN .
Sort out the flooding issues .
Give all markets 2 oil coolers .
Fix the MPG figures .
Improve interior plastics .
COLOURED LEATHER FOR THE INTERIOR OF THE YELLOW BLUE AND GREEN CARS .(SAME AS IN THE OTHER COLOURS )
Above all be more honest with their customers .

i might check into when the 05 will be out.... it would be worth my wait if they were to do much about the gas mileage and the flooding probe the HP would be a plus.

If????
What kind of a car manufacturer would release a brand new car for only 1 year? Of course there will be a 2005 model, and there will only be very small changes as far as I know.

Where did you get this? I don't think MPG will be increased to 24-28. If it were it would be on par with most family sedans, and that just won't happen anytime soon.

Once I get my '04, I am going to ignore all car magazines and censor all my reading to block out mentionings of new RX-8s :p
It's like with computers, you get one and 6 months later you feel like crap when you read the magazines and find out your computer's not worth jack anymore.
The solution, DON'T FIND OUT LOL
Price check before you buy, but after you buy, don't price check!

I would guess there wouldn't be too many changes.
I would not be surprised (and actually I think they're dummies if they DON'T do this) if they give you more options and lose the "packages" deal.
People should be allowed to still get leather and not lose the 1.5 inches of head room.

Most of the changes if any will be a mickey mouse type change .
They wont effect me as i am going to install maurices (canzoomers ) Stage 1 and stage 2 kits giving me an estimated 50 hp extra than the standard RX8 .
That equates to approximately 38 kw at the rear wheels of extra powerand no new change will make up for that power increase .
Even the mazdaspeed rx8 i feel may not be as as powerfull .IF IT IS EVER AVAILABLE OUTSIDE OF JAPAN.
So i will be" A HAPPY LITTLE VEGEMITE"

you guys talk like if you never owned a car before... or worst like if you never followed what the car world/industry is like...
ofcourse there will be a '05 model. most probably the way things are, it will be by august '04 when we see them, as far as changes, as usuallu minimal, merly fixing the glichs of the '04 models and not the gas milage nor the ho issue since they have 'reinstated' their numbers to lower. In any case it would take about the 3-4 generation until we see some worth while changes if any, if they input the money on it... if the new rx-7 is really on the way, they might change some components of the 8 but eventually, it will be discontinued unless they start going crazy w/ turbos and 3 rotor engines all over again... same fate as of the old rx-7 awaits watch and see until we stop using gas driven engines

05' most likely wont have mechanical enchancement, but gliches will be fixed, and interior will most likely get auto-climate... power seats... stuff like that... but as far as engine bay goes 2% chance of change.

FWIW, I did email Mazda Corp. last week and the reply I got from a person by the name of Heather said the information for the '05 RX8 won't be available until April/May.
