these are all intresting and of course speculation but look what toyota has been up to. Very similar front bumber for the 2007 camry. I like the MS look better.

Nothing personal....I hope you guys don't go work for Mazda... you'll likely turn our attractive car's front into looking like an SUV or an Audi... not sure which is worse ...but IMHO both are pretty damn fugly awful. Stop

What would I like....? Since the 8 is so unique and rare already... why not make it more so by adopting some existing style, like the MazdaSpeed kit or Autoexe style kit? Build it into the car, standard. Save everyone a bunch..they'd already have a pretty decently good bodykit w/purchase.

These pics as a possible face lift, look pretty ugly imo.
The only face lift that would be good was a photo chop some1 made of a blue rx8 a lil while ago.
I think it was a combination of the mazda 6 front.
That thing looked dope.

wow, harsh crowd
i feel a bit sinful by saying this, but i see a resemblance of the ms kit in my chop :| besides the logo holder(which i'm not too fond of myself, but at this point, it seems to have a chance to make it into production) i don't think it's that bad... but then again, i chopped it -_-
mazda would never release a kit too similiar to the ms kit stock, it would make the ms kit worthless!

I'd like to see them make it a little less busy. Smooth it out a bit more. That goes for the interior as well. I'm shopping the 8 now after having lusted after it since it came out, and i think it's starting to age. I hope i can hold out on buying till i at least see the refresh, but the ones here are making me want to buy now!

Thanks guys for the work on making the pic's look so real...but I hope you all are wrong. I don't like any of them that much, the yellow ones aint so bad but I'd rather have an aftermarket front end then those.
Mazda...just give me the dang Mazdaspeed Version II front end, where is ITTTTTT????? I hope Mazda does not mess things up...

My 50 cents worth...
Zoom, I tend to think, and going on the very subtle changes to the 2006/7 Mazda 3 and 6, the 2008 RX-8 changes will also be very minor, change of rear tail lamps, perhaps more aggressive (larger) headlamps, new mags, suspension upgrades, trim changes and new paint...then there is the engine issue, UMmm, slight fuel and HP improvements, but don't expect too much here, and YES, a MAZDASPEED 8.

Maybe the upcoming changes are going to be along the lines of the MS Concept 8...
JDM mags have been showing photochops of a Kabura-faced 8 ever since the Kabura was shown.... saying that is going to be along the lines of the facelift.
