I rather keep the weight light, so no AWD.

No. Just the exact things you heard. He said next week and may have meant next year. If you recall, he immediately added that we should make the trip to the show in Tokyo. I don't think that statement was made to a group of rotary enthusiasts with no purpose.

sure thing yoda....

I dont think the rx8 should have awd, that'd be against what it is. It could be a little faster, just so we can stop asking whats faster, rx8 or 350z topics.

The more I think of it....this time would be spot on for the "NEW RX-8" launch/reveal....

We all know that next years 2007 model will remain unchanged apart from a few colors.

It would be perfect timing to show the new 8 in Tokyo this time next year, with production stock available for your Auto shows in the new year 2008...

Yep, WE HAVE A YEAR TO WAIT........

You've missed the point about the RX-8. How many Formula-1 or Indy500 cars do you know that is designed for driving in the snow and is AWD?

If you need to drive in the snow often, go and get an SUV.

The only car that has turbo and AWD is the Mazdaspeed6... Dealer is the source of all crap, 2nd is the forums lol. Anyways... Tokyo Motor Show is a long wait... sighhhhh... However therse the Nagare concept soon to be reveiled in LA autoshow. Maybe Mazda will throw in everything they have. Electric assisted turbo hydrogen/gasoline rotary with eletric-hybrid technology. Oh, maybe axialflow supercharger.. haha...
