MazdaUSA.com updated
All,
I apologize if this has been posted, but MazdaUSA.com has been updated to now have the full 2009 RX-8 information. It's not in upcoming models anymore. So, when you click on RX-8 in the left menu, you get all 2009 info, features, pictures, colors, builds,etc. Also, inventory search even reveals 1 2009 in my area..

They haven't updated accessories/mazdaspeed sections yet. Only '08 models show so far. Curious as to what they'll offer, what prices, and whether or not the MS kit will work on earlier models.
EDIT: When did they update the owners section? It's changed. Looks better IMHO.

Is it my imagination, or does even the vehicle builder not show the bumper for the R3. It is supposed to be different, right? The description of the R3 even specifies "sporty front bumper."
Shouldn't the bumper be sporty on every trim of a sports car?
Whenever they slap flat black plastic on the inferior trims you know they're cheapin' out.
Remember the original Neons that had flat black bumpers. Only the high-end models (at least for the Dodges) had body-color bumpers! :D

" NAVIGATION SYSTEM
$2,000"
"NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Easily operated, the system directs you by voice and pop-up screen to an entered address or the nearest gas station, ATM machine, restaurant, hospital etc"
I was hoping for some sort of appearance package like the 04-08 RX8's. The RX8 (doesn't matter if it's the 04-08 or the 09+) looks unfinished without some sort of lip and side skirt... Like an alien spaceship.

emailed dealer on the wheels. They cost $2080 EACH plus tires. Yikes!
No effing way they're 2k a pop. That's a set of very nice used Ray Volks there. For a freakin' wheel. 8k for a set? No effing way. Hell that's a winter beater SUV you can get instead of a single, decent but not exceptional, wheel.
Does anyone think there's anything about the 09 MS spoiler different than the current MS spoiler? Looks the same to me. Be nice if they would have just offered a Mazdaspeed variant of the 09. Better than this R3 concept.

Not only are the headlights different, but they also deleted the corner lights from the '09, so that's another reason the MS front won't work on the new cars.
To see how different the headlights are, just put two photos next to each other - you'll see. It is clearly a different shape.

I doubt the R3 have "aero flares around the bumper". If it was an add, you would see the lines where the add-on would meet the bumper.
