MY '05 Changes?

Hi, I did try to do a search on this topic, but I had no luck whatsoever with the search function...

It's been awhile since I've been on the site. I had a Sunlight Silver ordered about 6 - 8 months ago, but had to cancel because I needed a true 4 door for business. I wound up getting an Audi A4 3.0, which is a great car, and downright beautiful, but it's just not a sportscar no matter how hard I try to make it one. I'm going to switch jobs next January and will be able to go back to a sportscar, and since I have kids the RX8 is still my 1st choice.

I will more than likely be getting an '05, so I was wondering what changes if any are in store. It sounds like white will be a color choice. If so, I will definitely go for it. XM is a must, too. Will they have that? Thanks in advance for your input. I hope you all are enjoying your 8's, maybe someday I'll finally be able to join you.

I heard that 05 model will be wired for satelite radio. Don't know if it is a factory option, but I'm sure you can get dealer or an aftermarket install. And yes, 05 will have white.

-Transmission
-Ergonomics
-little bit of this and that...

The car alarm/entry system will be in the key fob for FY05.
