I happened to see a Mazda 5 on friday on my way home from work. It was a sea foam green. My first impression was basically a smaller MPV. It was tall and skinny and had some ugly ass euro tail lights high up towards the roof. I actually think this van is uglier in person than in the pictures. If you are hoping this car to be something, you will probably be dissapointed. Unless of coarse you like the MPV, than it may suit your taste. When it all comes down to it, it is just a mini van.
