Mazda5 This new sport van from Mazda offers the interior size and usefulness of a minivan with the feel and spirit of a sport compact.

Can you identify this - is it a new Mazda 5?

ya, looks like an MPV to me... that site is dated, back to 2005 - pretty sure that the MPVs have been discontinued though... at least they have here in Canada - I dont recognize that exact design though - perhaps it was a concept?

Ahhh. the MPV that never was....
MPV's have been discontinued here in the States too. IIRC, 2006 was the last year.

The car in the photo is the Mazda Biante which is sold only in Japan. It is not the replacement for the current Mazda 5.

Ahhh, cool. That makes sense.

I found this:

Kinda funky looking - kinda like it. Wheels look way to small though (either that or the van is huge).
