Yeah went to the local Mazda dealer the other day and the salesperson pretty much told me that i'd be better off just buying a normal RX8.

Which is true. The only differences are the polished alloy wheels and rotary accents, the urethane foam in the suspension, the piano black accented interior, the interior color, serius satellite radio.. and a few other small things like that. Performace wise, Shinka is exactly the same as the other RX8s.

Was wondering the same... The US seems to get whatever Japan has one year later. For example, I hear we'll be able to purchase the Midnight Blue color next year (I think it's called something else...). Maybe this will become an option in Japan...
