Nice to see that the "special" 40th anni wheels are also being used for display purposes, I wonder if that is what will be used at sale.

The ones on the RX8 R3 are 19 inchers compared to the 18 inchers for the 40AE. The 2009+ Touring/Grand Touring will use 18 inch 40AE in a different finish.


I asked the Mazda Representative when a brand new redesign will come and he said we should be seeing a new RX with a completely different engine around the year 2010-2011. 2009 RX8 will be released around june-july of this year.
