RX-8 Convertible and Coupe

I may have missed this somewhere, but my brother pointed it out to me. This is from autoweek.com

link: http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102996

Scroll down the page some with the info, for he lazy people.

RX-8: Horsepower increases likely will occur, but do not expect major changes to the four-door RX-8 car because a true coupe and a convertible are planned. Timing for the two models could be anywhere from the 2007 to the 2009 model year.



could we be out of luck for a factory turbo on our 8's?

maybe, maybe not. They do say "HP increases", they just don't say how...

Well let's see....could the RX8 coupe be an RX7? Seems that the RX8 should remain a four door, afterall that's the one the key things that makes it and RX8, or maybe I'm confused as to what you are saying.
