"We had a quick second to upload 296 images from out day at Laguna Seca, and the Monterey area, with the RX-8. These images are raw, right off the card from the digital camera. We will have a full writeup and driving impressions of the RX-8 as soon as we absorb all we did today (full speed laps at MRLS, autocross, and an hour drive down California's Highway 1.) Know this however, this car has impressed two hard core rotorheads. This is a rotary sports car, while not a replacement for the raw FD3S RX-7, it is a refined, well tuned, predictable car, that it it's soul is a rotary. "

Well, that answers the question of that strange little button to the right of the console! And now we can see pictures of the blue too. And the shots of all the cars lined up...oh wow....
Thanks again Buger!

Neat idea for the keys to have them color coded to the color of your car, that is if they actually do it for the production version. See link

Are some of the non US markets getting white. I think that is the best looking pic of the bunch and I normally hate white cars.

I appreciate RotaryNews for posting the pics so quickly. However, the colors in the outdoor pics looks dull or slightly washout. Is it me?

Looks like a futuristic version of the rx7 almost. I just dig the front..
I wish i was this guy Clear in the background in the middle. Surrounded by rx8's.

Wonder if.....
The spoiler will be a option by the time it is produced? It looks good but not as wild as the "X" car. Also, will the "clear" side markers make it or can we add aftermarket? Clear is clearly nicer!
