That would make my decision much easier if they brought that over here.

Is it possible that Ford, in its well-known wisdom, had something to do with it?

Nice!  With no MPV and the decision to drop the wagon variant of the 6, what is Mazda (Ford) North America thinking?

Maybe they want people to move over to Ford and get an Edge. ???

Perhaps....

Boo.  We need more sleek, yet practical wagons/mini-minivans.

Not a minivan guy, but I think if you really need to move more than 4 people on the regular basis with convenience and comfort, there is no replacement for a full size minivan.

I talked to the Mazda guy yesterday. He said that he "wouldn't be surprised" if we see this in a year or so. There's too big of a gap in the price point between the 5 and the 9 (vehicles with a third row) he said.
