2009 RX-8 Pics from the Detroit Auto

Slight facxe lift for 2009. Styling is clearly more aggressive.

I guess I don't understand the obsession with people jumping on people who repost things. Is it really that hard for you to just skip it and move on? Seriously. Who cares?
I actuallly didn't see the link this person posted anywhere else, and when I log onto this site to post something I don't really want to waste 5 minutes of my time searching to see if someone has said what I want to say. There are too many posts to read.

Thanks for the link Sage. I enjoyed the read from another point of view. Especially the comment about the black plastic on the front grille.

Change for the sake of change. I don't see where any real thought was put into it. I can understand refreshening a design for marketing reasons, but it looks like they put a committee of teenagers on the job. No a cohesive design. Just tacked on and reshaped elements.

We'll have to wait for the RX-9!
