Okay folks, call me crazy, but I swear this is true. I went to the Motor Trend Magazine web site and on the main page there is a section in the upper right corner relating to the current issue. There is a small picture of the current magazine cover and it was a red RX-8! The headline on the cover said something like "Sleek and Sexy". When I cliked to see the content of the issue there was only information related to the 2005 Corvette. I did this several times with the same result. I studied the picture closely because it was so small, but I am sure it was an RX-8. I left the site and went back in 5 min later and the magazine cover had changed to a different cover with a 2005 Corvette that matched the content. Was I seeing things? Did Motor trend goof and put the next months cover up for a brief time and then corrected it? Very strange!!!!! Can anyone help me here?

 

what you saw was the cover of the March issue with the Chevrolet SS Concept.

it's been mentioned on this forum before that the SS does look a bit like the rx-8, so it's understandable how you thought it was the new 8.

 

(oops, sorry for the duplicate post)
I think you saw the March cover, which had the Chevrolet SS, which does look very similar:

 

gamera...

not only did you post basically the same reply as me, but you're my twin as the 8 is concerned too. i also ordered a Titanium/Black, 6MT with GT package. no nav, though.

 

Okay, thnaks for the clarification. Yes this is the cover that I saw. It was so small on the web site, it really looked like the RX-8. Even on the larger image that was posted here it looks similar. Anyway, I am sure that the RX-8 will warrent a cover soon enough.
