That's sad. My mother tells me that when I was small they pulled me out of one of those things just in time.
My wife worries about trunk releases because of incidents of carjackers throwing the driver in the trunk. Trunk releases are always on her list of questions. When we were looking at the RX-8, the salesman asked if she thought any one of us could actually fit in the trunk.
I think the handle everyone is talking about, though, is the recessed finger grip, not the release.

Gotcha.. I hear "trunk" and "latch" and my mind automatically jumps to incidences from when I was a kid.. As for the recessed finger grips, yeah, I knew that was there..... last week. lulz

Here is something else that VERY FEW people knows...
The hidden RX-8 navigation menus
All codes are activated by clicking the MENU button on your center console. You will get the choice of "Select Destination" or "Setup Menu".
Choose "Setup Menu"
Then select "System Information"
Then select "Version"
The three hidden menus are:
System Information: UP UP DOWN DOWN
System Analysis: UP UP UP DOWN DOWN DOWN UP DOWN
Yes, my RX-8 really does look like a Ferrari.

I think it was a year before I realized there was a trunk handle. I too saw someone using it and was shocked!
I looped my index finger into the latch and pulled down. I always wondered if I wouldn't move it in time and smash my finger in the trunk.
What is god mode? Isn't it UP DOWN UP DOWN A B START?

It took me about a week to notice the sunglass holder, never realized there was a clip on the visor for cards, read about the trunk button when I first bought the car and have used it since, read on here about the handle on the trunk about 3 weeks after owning the car (although I still use the latch, quicker IMO), read in the manual when I first bought it about the jack and all that (figured it would have one since all cars I've owned have), don't have NAV so no comment there, read about the middle compartment flipping up in the manual as well. In a given period of time took about 1 month to find out almost everything compartment of the car. I'm still waiting to find that button to make it a ***** magnet.....dammit where the hell is that thing.....
