2005 MY changes...anyone hear anything official yet?
I remember reading in a thread that Mazda was going to announce sometime in June what changes there would be for the 2005 model year RX-8. I think the rumors said that white would be added as a color option and yellow dropped. Personally I'm rooting for different option packages allowing us U.S. buyers (friggin' Canadians!) to get leather without the headroom robbing sunroof.
So, it being June now, has anyone actually heard anything from Mazda?
Once the announcement is made, I can finally decide whether to buy an '04 or wait for the '05.

I actually just got an e-mail back from Mazda today confirming the 2005 changes. Here's what their representative had to say:
Thank you for contacting Mazda North American Operations. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you.
Most 2005 RX-8 specification is available now. Quite succinctly, the only notable changes are the deletion of Yellow and the addition of White for color choices and the addition of a satellite-ready option. No functional, interior or package combination changes have been made for 2005.
By the end of Summer, our website should also be refreshed to reflect 2005 vehicle specifications, too.
Again, thank you for contacting Mazda. It has been my pleasure to assist you. Please feel free to reply to this message with any further questions or comments.
Thus, it looks like everyone here was right when they said that the only major change will be replacing yellow with white. I'm guessing that the satellite-ready option means satellite radio. If anyone here knows anything else, please enlighten us.
Hope this helps.

Maybe I'll just move to the Great White North.

Can we eventually buy those keys for the 04 you think?

Also the key has the remote lock/unlock built-in to it in 2005 (at least so said Mazda).
