RX-8



Introduced in 2004, the Mazda RX-8 remains the only sports car to feature seating for four full-size adults, and the only mass-produced vehicle in the world to offer the high-revving RENESIS rotary engine . The 2006 RX-8 will be a late launch – after the first of the year - and will see a number of changes and updates. Specific product information will be available closer to launch.

there will be a 06 rx8 , the auto will have a 6 speed instead of a 4 speed, mazda is working out the lack of power issue with the car before they relese it and it will have many minor changes that will make a rather large impression on the buyer is what i have been told by mazda north america when i was at mazda tech school for the mx5 and mz5
