I like this facelift better than the original, I guess the original was just boring me because it's been around for so long. The wheels are awesome.

Everything looks good except for the front bumper looks like a peugot. Tailights are ok. Inside it looks great i wonder whats been done under the hood and suspension.

Post Mazda RX-8 RS preview.





















Detroit Auto Show: Mazda RX-8 RS Images Released Before Tokyo Auto Salon.

Before the facelifted RX-8 makes its debut at the Detroit Auto Show, the facelifted RX-8 RS was supposed to show up at the Tokyo Auto Salon. The smart money says that, with a few minor exceptions (those wheels, for one), this is what the new RX-8 for North America is going to look like. Mazda released two photos of the RX-8 today and then the nice people at MotorAuthority decided to release a whole bevy of photos showing off every angle of the new RX-8. Some blogs these days, we tell ya. More below the jump.

As you can tell from the photos, the biggest change comes at the front where the foglights get incorporated into the larger air inlets in a way that reminds us of the new Audi R8. Other than a slight revision to the taillights the rest of the changes seem rather minor. Full details still to come

Damn, I love the new look! You can see the common Mazda theme that was started on the Mazda 6 carry over to the RX-8. Big thumbs up!
