Sweet!
Who ever was driveing that RX-8 is sooo lucky! Who ever saw that guy should of followed him home and asked how he got that car!. The only bad part was is that the car had a bra on the front and back 
.
EDIT : after my first excitment of seeing the car on the street i looked at the photos a bit more and noticed that the RX-8 was driving into MAZDA Headquarters... Lucky bastard..

And the pillar behind the rear door was taped to make it look like the window extended all the way back... perhaps to take away the distinctive rear pillar...
Any clue why the lights are blued in all the spy pictures?
I want to know where they are gonna hang a front plate as they are mandatory here...

finally a real pic with a silver car. i hope its silver, it might be grey but it looks good in that color. i couldn't see the gutters in those pics like the red spy photo one had but it could be just the angle.
appleman, thanks a bunch. i read the thread also, maybe you could clue those guys in on the stats of the renesis. one guy said three rotor with 287 hp and one guy corrected him saying it was a single rotor. that just shows how much more mazda has to do to get the word out on this car

what i have yet to understand or have explained to me is WHY THE HELL MAZDA PERSISTS IN MASKING THIS CAR!! the whole world knows it's coming, that one is nearly preproduction, for goodness' sake, with (MUST be) at least the exterior finalized...
WHY NOT JUST PUT A BIG *** BILLBOARD ON IT SAYING "own one: spring 2003" OR SOMETHING!! man, at least for our own tilillation... it'd just be so nice, and good for thier friggin sales figures...
man, sorry i'm so worked up about this... obviously i think hype would be a good thing...
why would Mazda WANT for it to continue as a sleeper??

Awesome! Great find!
Wakeech, would you want 500 motorists following you wherever you go? :D
Couple of things:
- in the first pic, the rain gutter is there, but its hard to see.
- gas filler neck is on the drivers side (never noticed a fuel door before)
- in the third picture, check out how the right rear turn signal is lit up - 3 little bulbs. Quite unique, I like it. (Of course, without the blue masking, it might look different.)
- the rims are different! zoom in on the wheel in the 2nd or 3rd photo! It looks like the new rim is a twin-spoke design. I like it much better. Check out the pictures below (the new rim is on the right):

And I've seen that spy shot before of the '8 testing in the snow. Can't believe I missed the rims there either.
Must be old age.
By the way, I'm going to get you and "Applejax" confused a lot.

Most cars are made like that, because of gas stations getting too crowded on one side of the station. Just simple logisitics
Or is it one type of car has it on driver's side and another car on passenger's.... I forget. But either way, I wouldn't expect all of the gas caps to be on the driver side. Though I'm used to it with my two cars.

From the first pic it looks as though the turn indicators in the mirrors has gone away too.

Are the R&D headquarters in Irvine? I thought those were only the corporate offices, with R&D in Japan and Ann Arbor, Michigan??
I am a pretty good Mazda fan, but I must admit that I don't know much about their locations. I know their world headquarters are in Hiroshima, their US headquarters are in Irvine, and there is an office that does something in Ann Arbor. Oh, and I think the ad agency that came up with "Zoom Zoom" is in Detroit.
That's all I know.
