Mazda new MPV was introduced in Japan several months back, it looks beautiful, AWD as an option, plus many other luxury's. Here is the link... New Mazda MPV or Mazda 8

 

I hope it does. While I have nothing against the Mazda 5, it's just way too small compared to other minivans out there. Interestingly, the current (perhaps last) version of the MPV is noted as being smaller than most of the competition. I think that the Dodge Caravan (not the Grand Caravan) is about the same size as the MPV. But the 5 just wont do it for me. We're shopping for a minivan, and while my wife is in love with the Toyota Siena, the MPV was her second choice. She even likes it more than the Honda Odessy!

 

It has only been unconfirmed rumor as no one seems to have a solid answer but I have heard that the CX-9 could be a possible successor to the MPV line-up. CX-7 might also take the Tribute spot but again, no one seems to have a solid answer at this point.
