'09 RX8 news
Not much, but at least there will BE an '09 model year!
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/11/m...ut-at-detroit/ |
theres already snapshots out of 2010 models... they are around this board somewhere. my guess is with '10 models, obviously '09 models will exist.
|
I hope its a brand new RX-8. I don't want it to just be a better version of my car... It'd hurt my morale. LOL.
|
'Heavily revised RX8' = more than just additional colours and cosmestic changes?
The better do something to the rotary engine. I hope! And i'm preparing the cheque book already. 1 more month!!! Excited to see the new 8. |
Ya know, who cares?!?! :icon_bs:
Getting real tired of Mazda comming out with concept after concept and doing absolutely nothing with them. ford concept - Mustang. Came out in 05 with it chevy concept - camero - comes out next year dodge concept - charger - comes out next year toyota - matrix - 2009 mazda concept - Senku, nagare, taiki, kabura, ryuga - absolutely nothing anyone can make a shell and say its a concept, but do something with all these things already. /end rant |
This is not a next generation RX-8. It is a facelift of the current car. Different front end and other changes such as updated oil metering system. Traditionally Mazda has facelifted each rotary car for the last 2 years of their life. This should be no different. Don't expect to see a next generation, if at all, for at least another 2-3 years.

Apostle you left out the Sassou and Hakaze. That makes 8 fake cars. Meanwhile they upgrade the 8 like a Russian Soyuz rocket.
|
i love the concepts- you have to always be looking down the road to where you want your company to be. they have found that direction thru this process and are starting to implement the design changes.
the head of design says these new design themes will make it to production starting with the 2009 mazda3. think of that. these next couple of cars- facelift rx-8 and new mazda6- are the END of this styling cycle. a new era is just aroudn the corner. |

OK just to clear some things up about this, a few of us saw this actual engine this year at SSX. It was at Racing Beat on the engine dyno. This car runs on 100% ethanol. No hydrogen! It has no power potential. Now don't get too excited about a 3 rotor Renesis. It's not one. It's the 3 rotor peripheral port race engine the Courage has been using. It's just really chromed up, painted and pretty now.
snip but don't get your hopes up fantasizing about something it'll never be. no power? they are sayign 450 on ethanol. that seems like enough:) and let them all hope and fantasize- its better than the hate and discontent from the likes of user24 - always disappointed |

The car utilizes the Courage C65 chassis the company campaigned in the ALMS series only two seasons ago, and the 450-hp three-rotor rotary engine that distinguishes it from anything else on the track.

I'd have to agree with RG the 3 rotar is just a promo machine. The revised 8 will have a new front end and some cosmetic tweaks to the interior/exterior. That is all fine and dandy but what people want is a more powerful or lighter RX8. Even after 4 years the RX8 is still an attractive car. design can always be improved but the only thing that needs improvemnet on the 8 is what is under the hood.
While I'll be curious to see the redesign I won't expect it to increase sales much if at all. |
