too early for a major change, in the next generation probably.

It looks a bit sleeker, keepts it's old body. I want to know if any of it's specs were changed. I always loved the look, I love it even more now.

i dont think anyone said it was next gen. like the rx7, each generation goes through a change mid-year cosmetically and performance-wise.

now i need to find a way to get my g/f to trade in her rx8....the new 4.777 final drive sounds like it would be so nice, same with the extra chassis rigidity and sport packs suspension

so they slapped on a front bumper and added some what seems to me like recaro seats. seems pretty cool.

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

clear corners, aggressive front, cooler rims, and new HID's (that wont fog up like the 04-08's apparently...). whats not to love?

remove that stock wing, and add a Mazdaspeed spoiler on that sucker, and it'll look MUCH MUCH better.

I see they've added the 19's for practicality purposes.
