i like how the recaro seats sounds. and i'm curious on the look of the new wheels, but 19" is a bit big for a 'sport' package, no?

What's the significance of the stuff in gray on the 3rd page? Aux input, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlamps, global open & close windows, one touch retractable seat are all new if they're actaully for the RX-8.

The significance is it all adds weight to a car that needs to trim a bit of fat...

I'm guessing it's the "R-Tuned" model we were previously discussing.

Am I the only one that's eyeing the Recaros as possible no hassle swaps into our current RX-8s?

Amazing.. Probably what the 'Sports' model should have been from the start. What's so sporty about xenons and fogs? Hopefully the seats will be transplantable as they are one of my biggest complaints..

The stuff in'gray' represents the NEW features for 2009 for that model.

225/40/19?

such narrow 19 inchers are going to look mad awkward...maybe that's just me. staggered ftw? 245's would be nice. and hell, maybe 225/18's in front along with 245/19's in back...i think that would look pretty nice. suck about the motor, however.
