Looking at a recent pic of the interior of the RX8 at geneva, I noticed the heating controls are different to many of the other pics. Also some of the radio controls are different.

Does this show the climate controls on the Euro car, as opposed to standard aircon?

Here is a pic from the press pack:

Here is one from Geneva:

Looks like one has actual numbers and such and one has descriptions. One is probably a pre-production model. They aren't complete.

The lower picture certainly shows controls for climate control, and the one above for straight aircon.

I think the readout for temperature may be on the same display as the radio ?

well the bottom pic from geneva is a pre production car no doubt because they hadn't built any on the production line that went to shows or anywhere else. the top pic is also the pic that appears in the "interactive design tour" section of the mazda usa rx8 site. as that section just became operable in the last couple of days i would venture to say that it is closest to what the production will look like, but then again most of those pics are pre production as well having been available to us on this forum long before they started production. have i sufficiently confused the matter now?

I believe it is "the mazda usa rx8 site" (not sight) seeing as "site" is "website" abbreviated. I had seen you make this error several times.
