take your pick. neither of those statements precludes a Mspeed 8. Considering that next year would be the last year of the product cycle for this generation of RX-8...
Last year of product cycle??? For North America or globally?

Don't say such horrid things! I'm banking on the redesign being 09 or later so when I buy my new 8 it'll be the design I've fallen in love with all these yrs. Not to mention 1st yr models always suck.

repost/rumor times a billion. apparently people still dunno how to use the search button. muchless search.

The how-to search thread should be like a contract before making an username on here, like one of those "Terms of Use" things.

Winning Blue RX-8 w/ FI and 300hp > any other car under $45k. Unfortunately, I will never, ever see that from the factory -- ever. These threads are always so depressing.

Why do you have to go and say something some mean & hurtful??? You made my "lowly" base model BB cry. You're a bad person.

Tokyo MS in October will see a minor upgrade/facelift RX-8 for 2008 as a MY2009.

That will be the last model of the RX-8 up to 2012...and the end of the RENESIS in its present form..

The MY 2009 RX-8 will be one swell of a lookin motor////
