Does the RX8 have a switch to shut off the passenger side airbag?

Yeah, good point. I don't think I've ever seen it on a 4 seater but it's still a nice option given the size of the vehicle. It's certainly not a stretch to think that you could have three little kids in your car. I like having it on my TT (even though there isn't a back seat...I'll ask my friend if he has it on his coupe) since it at least offers the option.

I am a meat popcicle
My wife's MDX has this wierd automatic airbag turner offer. Somehow, it will sense whether there's a child goofing off in the front seat (not sitting properly) and will automatically disable the passenger airbag... or so the manual says. There's a light on the dash on what almost looks like a button, but there's no manual override for it.
I wish my 8 had a switch though. When I take my son to his Tae Kwon Do class I have to load him in the back, then I feel like a chauffer.

TT may have one since the convertible version is a two seater. They probablky share the same interior trim.
The MDX has a weight sensor in the passenger seat for the air bag. You can sit on one cheek and set it off
Also, my wife's purse sometimes triggered it!
