What is the funny thing...

that is in front of the driver between the guages. From the pictures I have seen it looks like an air vent but it is up in the windshield and can actually be seen from the outside pictures.

That thing on the top, in the middle of the dash? I think that may be a center speaker.

I agree on the speaker assumption. It isn't big enough to be the windshield defroster/defogger. Please let there be a kickass sound system.

A link to a picture of the funny thing

This is no speaker, but from the picture posted above I see what you are refering to and yes that looks like a speaker to me as well.

Here is a front view where you can see it through the windshield.

That's the older version of the RX-8, anyway, I have no idea what it is.

That semicircle thing? That looks alot like a HUD (heads up display), which im sure we wont see in a production a model. I cant be sure, but I saw something alot like that in a concept car here at the Portland auto show. Had speed and RPM on it right there in youre field of view so you wouldnt have to glance down. Really not a bad idea if you think about it.
