I agree with the feeling ill part. A little voice in the back of my mind is screaming, "SOMEONE MAKE THEM STOP, f-ing up my car!!!"

I love the 8 just the way it is, except for clear corners and maybe the rear rotary accent

Just add Zaino and it's Perrrrfect

You know what Mazda will do. They did it with the first 7, we're ready for our Special Edition one, the end of the model cycle, just before our next Rotary Refresh. The one like when the 13B came out and you don't want to shift out of 3rd gear at Red line....why it still had more to give. Thats the one I'm all in for(16X) the new one. I know the SE(whatever it will be) will be a great improvement. The GSL-SE is a Great Car.

 

Amazing how old threads can come back to "haunt" us. When I first looked at this thread last year, I wouldnt have imagined that today, it's ringing true---even the speculated pics are looking like the real thing!!

 

Moar speculation:

For the lazies:


I am liking the fogs, but not liking the tail light housing.

 

Dude... the first thing I thought when I saw that was the stay pufft marshmallow man from ghostbusters when he's smiling!

He's a sailor, he's in... wherever the hell that is... and he's back and he's pissed off!

 

I'm not sure what to think of the tail either. Although, from what I can gather from the picture, the taillights look much like the rsx's...

 

I think your all on crack and the designs you're coming up with are fugly.. and speaking of fugly.. the Kabura is puke.

 

i like the fogs right under the headlights. that looks hot.

anyone see the autobahn kit'd rx8 with the audi a6 lights as fogs? that looks hot.

 

Hmm, seems quite plausible..

I'm sort of undecided if I like it better or not.. I suppose I'll need to see some better pics if it turns out to be accurate.

 

saturn sky, anyone?

 

...from another thread.

I'm not asking anyone to like it, but Zoom says it could be pretty accurate. And his version always puts a smile on my face

 

I still like the current face.

Still waiting for the new 16X

 

The autoblog one is the nearest to accurate... a new style bar across the front, like the CX-7 and a new side vents and a tweaked tail & taillights and new full length running boards.

 

the spyshot from the autoblog post, the repositioned fog lights look like flash-to-pass/city lights from the FD...

 

those arent spyshots. they are photochopped.

just an fyi.

 

Sorry for bringing up this old thread,
although we all know what's face lifted RX8 look like now,
I still think this one is damn good looking!!
Wish someone can develop a bodykit like this
