RX-8 has a manual now
The "almost final" version of the RX-8 seen at the recent Tokyo Motor Show has a 6 speed manual. The concept RX-8 (not to be confused with the RX-EVOLV) did have the F1-style paddle shifter. It's my understanding that Mazda won't be quite ready to introduce the paddle shift to the RX-8 when it initially launches (mid-2003? maybe a few months earlier?). We'll most likely see the paddles back in the cockpit about a year afterwards.
Here's a good source for more information on the RX-8:

and the RX-8 forum at the site:

and a clip of the RX-8 on a track from Mazda Japan:
