Dude, don't trade it yet. The WRX wagon is a great vehicle, wait a year or two so that your loss is not so big. Plus then you will get into a little later (and hopefully improved 8).
My feelings on comparison of the two:
Speed: WRX by a little
Braking: Rx8 by a lot
Handling: Rx8 by a lot
Looks: Rx8 by a lot
Interior: RX8 by a lot
Adverse weather driving: WRX by a ton
Usefulness factor: WRX by a lot (remember wagon)
I am not saying don't ever switch to the 8, I am just saying wait until the deal at least isn't ridiculously against you in value of trade.
BTW, I drive the WRX 3 to 4 days a week and the Rx8 2 to 3 days a week. The Rx8 is a better driving experience, but not so much that I would be willing to throw away money over it.

Finally, I went testdrove the 8 and the z. The sound of the 8 is great and the interior is great too., but not as fast as expected. The handling is great and the rear seats are decent.
THe Z is faster but It wasn't as fun as driving the 8. I couldn't see outside well and the driver seat is too small for me. Don't why the cluth is so tight . Overall a great car.
If I were to buy between those, I think I will chose the 8.
However, I am sorry to say that I feel WRX (at least for me) a more fun car too drive. The look I know is not as good as the 8 but it gets uniqueness. THe only complain is that it gets a 5sp....
Conclusion, now I am studying the MN and the snow is damn crazy I think keeping the WRX is better, but If i were in CA I would like to hear the high-pitch rotary sound everyday.
Thnaks guys for giving me advices...
