The speculation here is that the fold down rear seats will not be available in the production car but the trunk pass through will.

Re: Fold-down seats

I've taken the liberity to quote "boowana" from that thread:

Those of us who've been following this forum for a while (I personally followerd this for over 6 months before I signed up and even took some time before I started to post), have learned to trust "boowana's" sources.

Anyway, welcome to the gang!

And I'll complement you on your detective work and image search (... someone else posted that same image, in an otrher thread about the the folding rear seat question) and since I'm not that resourceful, it great to see we have someone else to uncover these hidden mysteries!

Per thecarconnection.com:

"...The recently-introduced Mazda6 has been generating quite a buzz, particularly for the refined quality of its interior. The RX-8 takes that several steps beyond. The exterior theme reaches into the passenger compartment, starting with a center “power bulge” that sweeps through the cabin in the form of a functional center console that extends into the back seat. It features several useful storage compartments, as well as cupholders. Indeed, Mazda put a premium on functionality. There’s a spot for a tissue box, another for your sunglasses. And the center of the rear seat provides a trunk pass-through..."

Looks like the pass-thru is the winner! I think I'll take my 8 skiing........
