I think so too. Its a Civic wagon.

First off, no parent in their right mind would buy a minivan with white interior. Second, its not a minivan since it doesn't have sliding doors or a 3rd row.

So I don't see this being any competition for the Mazda5...its closer to the Mazda3 wagon if anything.

So it would be a Mazda3 competitor but I think its bigger then a Mazda3.

Sheesh even with help from the aftermarket it's still horribly ugly.

I don't know if I really like this fad of all these new tiny mini-vans on the market.

I think it looks ok besides the rear quarters. Whatup with the rear side windows?

I agree. Maybe they are trying to hide the back seat head rests or something since that is where they are too. Looks odd.

As ugly as it is, it will probably have more power than the mazda 5 which could make it really competitive. I would rather take the 5 though cause if i was going to carry children in the van i woudn't want something that is so hideous that it would scare them away.
