translation: the rx-8 now has a super cool new leather package called the skrinka. the sand leather is rumored to increase 0-60 times by four seconds due to their lightweight and smooth surfaces.
the upgraded automatic is really an upgrade, but the rest is mindless fluff.

I just find this interesting
Advancements to the AT models
- 6-speed automatic transmission
The adoption of the 6-speed AT, increased by two speeds over the base 4-speed, enabled the overall gear ratio range to be widened and the gaps between each gear to be reduced to achieve a better close ratio. This results in a more powerful, smoother acceleration and reduces shift shock, while improving noise reduction at high speeds and increasing fuel efficiency.
- Adoption of the 6-port engine
The 6-port engine that up to now has only been used in the RX-8 Type S (6-speed manual transmission model) has been adopted for the 6-speed automatic transmission version, which until now mounted only a 4-port engine. This development pushes up the power output by increasing intake efficiency as well as further enhancing the torque produced at high revs--one of the special features of the rotary engine.

You'll always be able to get 3rd party upgrades, but I'd be amazed to see Mazda produce them.
