^ who knows. It might be something you can do on your car with an aftermarket kit. Or you might not like the new design. Either way, you've got another year of having the "current" rx-8.

Does anyone know if this is a complete remodel or just a refresh, similar to the Z's refresh? A refresh would make more sense, then release the 'brand new rotary' with a complete remodel or new car. I guess the restyle does not interest me as much as the new rotary in 2010/2011.

All they have to do is primp up the front and rear valences for a freshening up. The rest of the car probably stays the same- cheap, effective, and you get some ink for an aging model until the next one comes along.
