No - every media report is that production has stopped. RX-8 has moved to emeritus status. Sure am glad I got mine when they were alive.
The author of that article definitely has a soul.

Mazda needs a new halo car... The 6 is a sales disaster, the Speed3 sells well but has a "ricer" reputation. What else is left? Maybe they'll make a new Speed6 out of the next-gen, since they finally seem to have the bugs worked out of the DISI.

Sad day for rotorheads.
Yes, Mazda needs another Halo car.
Ideally a new rotary, but in teh meantime,
Another Mazdaspeed MX-5 could be a stopgap measure that maintains the Zoom zoom soul.

Very precise article, one of the best I've read. He hit all the key points good, bad, with a nice touch of needed humor to keep your mind off the looming dark cloud over the rotary for us owners.
