I just saw the ad for the R8 and it is rather interesting in its shape. I think that bodies lost something in handling and feel when the designs went from the typical manual body to the current general AFs. The R8 seems to have intoduced a new shape which does look good. I haven't seen one in the flesh yet, but think I'll put on a pair of snowshoes and seek it out.
