The History Channel's Modern Marvels episode on the RX8 was likley filmed around2001-02 with a protoype body (likely not the first press release). Going by this I'm assuming they aren't that close yet otherwise we would have seen something by now somewhere. I could be totally wrong as marketing strategies change. Maybe they are holding out as long as they can to maximize attention spans or simply, it just ain't ready. That MM episode the engine was fairly complete from my understanding.
