The New Mazda 5 is Available...
Was out car shopping with a friend today, stopped and looked at the G35C at the infiniti near the Mazda dealer, and thought I'd stop in at Mazda and say hi to a couple of friends, and low and behold....the Mazda 5 is on the showroom floor. Think Scion XB competition. It's a car-van-thing. Back doors on both sides slide in and out like on a van and lock in place. Interior is remniscent of the latest Nissan Quest van crossed with a Mazda 3. Headlights are kinda cool, tail lights are funky. I suppose it's a good alternative for the Scion crowd, but not my cup of tea. The showroom floor car was going for 22,000 MSRP.

Rep Power: 328 No, it will run along side the MPV from what I understand. If you see this car in person it looks like a mini me of the MPV...it's really strange...in pics it looks like a van, but in person it's Scion XB sized...

My friend saw one in DC. They are a mini-mini van like the Scion xA. They looked bigger in pics until you saw one up close.
I sure wish my car was newer

Rep Power: 364 F'ck that ish! I'm just waiting for the end of this pseudo-JDM-van craze so all the mindless sheep who've bought those piece of **** xAs, xBs, Elements, etc, will be stuck with their absolutely ridiculous and hideous vehicles and pissed off that they bought in to the fad.

Rep Power: 347 That is awesome. It is supposed to be a smaller van, similar to original Oddy's and original "minivans". My mom wants something like that, not quite an SUV, but larger then a small sedan. Of course, she doesn't like the look of the Element, so we'll probably look at the 5 in a couple of years/months.
