New Mazda MPV Unveiled
The Mazda MPV went extinct in the States back in 2006. Its successor, the Mazda 5, has since become one of the best selling (as well as most recognizable) minivans in North America. But don’t count the MPV out of Mazda’s eye line all together. The car company recently showed off their MPV revamp for Japan and the rest of Asia.
The exterior of this 2008 MPV includes redesigned grill and bumpers along with attractive chrome body parts. This “family minivan” has a more ferocious front end that will tell other soccer moms and dads to get out of the way.
Inside, the MPV provides room along with comfort. Easily seating a family of five or more, its plush seating and chrome trim will lull any one of your kids (or the friends you are tooling around with) to sleep. The smooth 5-speed automatic runs best in 2-wheel drive, especially with the 2.3L engine under its hood. Japan hopes to push for a 3,000,000 yen price tag, and if the history of Mazda in the country continues they will have no trouble finding a market for this new (and limitedly available) Mazda MPV.
Too bad it is not coming to the states. If I had to drive a minivan this would be the one I want.
Yea, it probably won’t be released in England either
