Front grill definatly looks like something that was done so they can get the car in the next CARS movie. 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.
