I dont like it. Its to small. Mazda needs to let more air in not keep air out. Reminds me of the old 2001 RX front

Even if it doesn't fit most people's tastes, 0% financing does sound enticing.

Besides, those are some easy fixes...throw on the Mazdaspeed bodykit and you're set and cover the vinyl up with black paint and you're good to go. Rims...most people change them anyway...

Too bad it's UK-only...

Yeah, there is no change on the black car's front bumper. It's the same as it always has been. The black plastic behind the air dam is the only thing that's different than US spec cars, but that has always been the case. Check it:

Man, if I wanted those stickers, I would buy a 1979 Z28.........
I think the front license plate just throws off the look to make the front opening look smaller.......

my 2 cents...

MAZDA! Bring back Winning Blue , you bums!!!!!

Makes me laugh when the USA can have a car manufactured in JAN-08 & its still called an 09 car.........................

92 model FD RX-7's + 03 model FE RX-8's the perfect examples

Thankfully the rest of the world is in touch with reality

Good to see the wheels have been changed. 03 - 07 is a long time for the same set of wheels

- Eibach lowered sports suspension
- Bright Silver 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels
- body-coloured aerodynamic side skirts
- satin-silver fuel filler cap
- dramatic body-side RX-8 graphics

The revolutionary Mazda RX-8 four-seater, four-door sports coupé is now available with 0% finance and a new optional Sport Pack priced at £350 – offering a customer saving of £1,400. Available for all models, the Sport Pack comprises Eibach lowered sports suspension, unique Bright Silver 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured aerodynamic side skirts, a satin-silver fuel filler cap and dramatic body-side RX-8 graphics.

The Mazda RX-8 with Sport Pack can be ordered in any of the six regular exterior colours, while the graphics are available in a choice of silver, charcoal grey or white, allowing customers to contrast with, or complement, their choice of body colour to suit their personal taste.

Two regular Mazda RX-8 models are available and both are powered by an ultra smooth-revving RENESIS rotary engine. The standard £21,500 Mazda RX-8 model features the 192ps engine with a five-speed manual gearbox, while the £23,000 high-power RX-8 model is fitted with the 231ps unit and a six-speed transmission. The 192ps model accelerates to 62mph in 7.2 seconds, while the 231ps model takes just 6.4 seconds.

Thanks to its unique blend of high-performance rotary engine power, perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, rear-wheel drive, sports car dynamics and generous interior space, the Mazda RX-8 has helped boost Mazda sports car sales to record levels. Together with the Mazda MX-5, the RX-8 accounts for one in every five sports cars sold in the UK – earning Mazda the title of ‘Britain’s Favourite Sports Car Brand’.
