theese do seem to be new pics, not recycled ones. i like the 0 of the tach being at the bottom. and the other shot clearly shows colored seat inserts and of course the steering wheel. i say this is new because you can see a line on the roof which is either the gutters or the edge of the sun/moon roof are those from that article as well?

That pic looks VERY different at the front to even the latest red car from the video's... the main air intake seems deeper and the side ducts are way bigger...

Mabe I've just lost the plot... but I swear it's different!

Thumbs down

No one has commented on the freakn' ugly side turn indicators/reflectors that magicaly have popped up on this incarnation. They are horizontal and just ahead of the front wheel. They are recking the classic lines of OUR RX-8!

PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS!

Yep! I was just talking about that... they are hideous... I won't say it, as I'd find it hard not to be rude, but PLEASE!

:p well, i'm gonna have to say i like them... i LIKE turn signals, and those are neat, i like the positioning... i just wish they wrapped around to the front, touching the side of the head lamp...

and those bigger ducts look SICK!!! i agree with Blue, this one is definitely different... :D

anyone notice the size of those huge wheels??? are those 18"s??? yikes...

Looks like the center part of the front portrudes a little bit, like the Ferrari F60 (but not overdone). The inlets are definately bigger. And if this picture is from the same article, it looks like the gauges might be white illumination now (or it could be a poor picture):

Click the image to open in full size.

Edit - those gauges ARE different. For one, the redline is shown as 9000 RPM, whereas the other photos showed it as 8500.

The whole car looks much meaner.

Putting stoneguard or x-pel on the front is going to be much harder...

This is one of the best pics of the RX-8 that I've seen. It looks slicker than I remember. Thanks for the treat.

Thumbs up The Real Thing

This is not the one from Irvine, but you are now looking at the 'REAL THING":D

You can see that the front end has changed considerably and LOOKS A LOT BETTER, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE!

THIS CAR IS AWESOME. ENJOY:D :D

There are a couple of others at this site that I hadn't seen before.
