Spy photographers for Brenda Priddy & Co. caught this very early development mule for the next-generation Mazda RX-8 testing, and it appears to be wearing a few of the car's new design elements that are obscured by covering. Priddy believes the cosmetic update will be quite extensive, though the basic layout of the car, its 2+2 seating and rear access doors will remain. The front covering is hiding what appears to be the new front end, and doing so very well. The headlights appear to be the same as the current car, though the side markers are also covered up and bulge out, indicating that the new car will likely be wider. Out back, meanwhile, are new taillights, as well. Some diagnostic equipment appears hooked up to one of the tailpipes, which also could indicate a new rotary for the RX-8, most likely the 16X Renesis (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/27/mazda-debuts-new-gen-rotary-in-taiki-show-car/) that first appeared in the Taiki Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-mazda-taiki-concept/) at this year's Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/tokyo-motor-show/). We're just speculating, of course, as the current RX-8 is still scheduled for sales duty up to at least the 2010 model year.

I hardly see an 8 on the road. They look alright though.

I figure I won't purchase a new car till 2010ish if they give the 8 more power and improved handling It will fall into my consideration panel. Leaving me to decide between an IS350, STI, EVOX or an 8
