2008 Info is Out!
And it looks like there isn't much to talk about, as expected. There will be a 40th Anniversary Edition, for whatever it's worth.
"To help celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Mazda’s rotary engine, Mazda will offer a limited-edition 40th Anniversary RX-8. Available in early 2008, the 40th Anniversary RX-8 will feature a special Metropolitan Gray exterior/Cosmo Red leather interior color scheme, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, suspension enhancements, fog lamps, silver engine cover and special badging."
I'm actually kind of curious to see how it turns out, not that it's a huge upgrade. Also, Phantom Blue might have been discontinued, not that that's a big surprise.

Yes! Take that, planned obsolescence!

hahaha what is it with mazda and grey? i mean, its an easy color to let get dirty and not notice too much as opposed to oooh... black cherry :p, maybe another green? or an orange color... orange is popular with other mfctrs, i'm trying to think of a color thats flashy enough for the car, but not lame... i would suggest a blacker black, but i don't think they'd go for that

BAFFLED 
they STILL haven't touched that freaking engine in 4 FULL years of production! If anything, the numbers have went DOWN from the very first release (238 > 232). Or would be that be the second...or third release?
sigh.
