take your pick. neither of those statements precludes a Mspeed 8. Considering that next year would be the last year of the product cycle for this generation of RX-8...
Last year of product cycle??? For North America or globally?

We will be lucky to see ANY RX8 after the 07 model year.

Don't say such horrid things! I'm banking on the redesign being 09 or later so when I buy my new 8 it'll be the design I've fallen in love with all these yrs. Not to mention 1st yr models always suck.

repost/rumor times a billion. apparently people still dunno how to use the search button. muchless search.

The how-to search thread should be like a contract before making an username on here, like one of those "Terms of Use" things.

Winning Blue RX-8 w/ FI and 300hp > any other car under $45k. Unfortunately, I will never, ever see that from the factory -- ever. These threads are always so depressing.

But yet you will always click on them even though you know what's after the jump.

Why do you have to go and say something some mean & hurtful??? You made my "lowly" base model BB cry. You're a bad person.

Tokyo MS in October will see a minor upgrade/facelift RX-8 for 2008 as a MY2009.

That will be the last model of the RX-8 up to 2012...and the end of the RENESIS in its present form..

The MY 2009 RX-8 will be one swell of a lookin motor////
