Rumor alert: 2008 Mazdaspeed RX-8 (turbo)
OK, I heard this from someone who's plugged into Mazda NA, so it may be b.s.
Late 2008, maybe as a 2009 model, the long awaited Mazdaspeed 8. It will be turbocharged, and also have some exterior tweaks.
Has anyone else heard this?

while standing in line in Taco Bell, he over heard this mazda sales rep talking about over hearing some mazda corporate big shot talking about a MPS 8 debuting in the NYC autoshow this year.

As you can see, it's still super top secret and under wraps at a hide-a-way in the Pacific Northwest

Impressive....it's been over a week since someone posted the obligatory 'I heard it from someone connected to Mazda NA' Mazdaspeed thread!
With 45 posts, they should know better than to start such a thread

All I could find on the Mazdaspeed MPV was:
All New Mazda MPV Mazdaspeed Package (with planned production accessories)
The 'Urban Gran Tourismo' design concept for this tuner version focuses on providing a powerful driving experience with this stylish GT minivan. The intrepid, high context design language has a unified flow, and the chief designer of the All-New MPV program himself supervised the production of this package. A Carbon Gray colored line is painted on the front, sides, rear and rear roof of the vehicle, an expression of the Mazdaspeed features on this model shares with the RX-8 or Mazda Roadster. Elaborate testing and verification processes, backed up by wind tunnel and running tests that only manufacturers can perform, bear out the claim that this Mazdaspeed package has achieved superb total balance and performance.
I was hoping to find the pic of an MPV with a RX-8 painted on the side.
