If its just a facelift do you think we would be able to swap our current face to the new one. I wonder.

 

Where are you guys getting these rumors man? or you guys just making info up to rouse interest?

 

It looks like the rumor of the 2008 facelift might be correct, but we're thinking of model year, and the rumor is for the actual year they're being built. e.g; Built in 2008 for our 2009 model year. So no face lift for another year.

 

Certainly enough time for Mazda to put the Ren2 in it though

 

you wish...

 

cmon jedi, don't ruin my dream!

 

The 2008's never showed at Seven Stock X dur to the rain.

 

they were in the truck that crashed on the 405 fwy.

 

is it true

 

Typically when a mid life change like this comes at Mazda they skip a model year. There probably won't be any official 08 RX-8's. There will be 07's and 09's Mazda previously did this with the Miata as well.

 

rumor has it that anyone with an 04 gets free upgrades when they release the new 8.

 

My buddy did a PDI ( Pre delivery inspection) on an 08 on Monday. I'm going to look at it now.

I didn't see it but all reports are that the facelift is not for 08 plus I forgot I already have the 08 brochure and it was the same.

Paul.

 

this is what I being thinking for some time, if production starts in april then that car will be aveilable in mid 2008 so it would be a 2009 model

any ideas Paul?

 

hi all.

I'm from s'pore and our official mazda importer told me that the facelifted RX8 will be sold in the 1st half of 2008.

And hence, i was told to wait.

Wonder what changes there'll be? ....

Here, we don't have GT spec and so on ...

 

I was at the dealership getting service done yesterday. I saw a few '08 RX-8s and didn't see anything that looked different from the current version.

 

From what Gomez, others and myself have sourced from Australia, the only 2008 models will be the 40th Anniversary ones, scheduled for production anytime from Thursday on-wards, close down in RX-8 production Xmas time until April 2008, with the new face lift RX-8 available here in May 2008, for your US model year 2009.

 

So we also have this information confirmed also from 'swiftboy' ^^^ in Singapore.
So that is 2 separate countries so far saying the same thing.
Pretty safe bet!

 

Just received the 08 brochure as well. Funny thing, if you look closely at the photo in the back with the 40th Annv. the wheels look like a bad photoshop job. Totally flat. Makes sense though since the photo they had to work with came with the 18" stockers, so they just chopped the wheels on and the new color.

 

no face lift???

can u scan the pages for us??

 

just go to your local dealer. they all have the 2008 rx8 brochures by now.

 

So did any changes take place ??

 

no because we were all forgetting that when any year and mazda are mentioned it means in the actual year- 2008 means IN 2008- not in model year. we tend to think in model year so we all were thinking we would see the change on the 2008 MY cars now. wait until aprilish for production cars with the changes. pic most likely in feb or march.

 

08's will get 30mpg also.

 

and they contracted Speedsource to build Mazdaspeed RX-8
