New RX8's..

Hey guys,

Newbie at RX8's I just started employment with a company that has good discounts @ all Ford divisions.

Has anything been changed in the new RX8's compared to 2005's (or above)? Is there a new engine coming out?

I'd appreciate someone posting a thread detailing it, or if they'd be nice enough, to detail it for me. Just wondering if I buy used, or new.

Thanks :D

No keyless starting in '04 or '05. Except for tiny changes (i.e. washer fluid tank going from black to clear, addition of a "SAT" button for SIRIUS radio, etc.), the car hasn't changed much since it came out. (Except in the AT model; not sure what change that was.) Like with most cars, the first year of production ('04) had teething problems, which have been addressed in later models.

New engine, new RX-8 supposedly coming in 2010, I think.

Keyless started with the 06 models, only on the GT models. Aside from some color changes the cars are the same.

Thanks for the info guys.

Also, perhaps a stupid question, but I was wondering if it's possible to add the wireless start (aftermarket?) to the car. I don't see many used 2006's around, and no need to buy new if nothing really changed..
