If you're really into rotary engine-inspired wheels, the 2009 Mazda RX-8 might fall into the "special" category. For the rest of us, this RX-8 is merely what car companies like to call a "midcycle refresh." No major sheet metal changes, a relatively untouched interior and nothing much going on under the hood. It's an attempt to inject some newness into an aging car without spending the big bucks to give it a full redesign.

Mazda Motor Corporation revealed the all-new Mazda2 (known as Mazda Demio in Japan) sedan at the 2007 Guangzhou Motor Show.
