That's a Mazda 2? Looks way different than the ones I've seen here.

Indeed it is

Google image search Scion ia. Interior is very Mazda

You’re probably used to the previous generation with the shared Fiesta platform.

Indeed it is

I wonder if they're moving more volume under the Scion/Toyota name......?

Possibly but the actual market for the sedan is small. We had the 1st gen for a little while then was withdrawn

I bet they do.

Have you seen the mini van?

(puke)

 

[jthj]

I think that’s the Mazda version of the s max which is a Ford platform.

 

[ColoradoDriver]

Yeah, plenty of Mazda5's around here.

 

[jthj]

They’re ok but yea minivan and all

My thought's exactly. It's a Mazda, but it's also a mini-van.

It’s funny when we were shopping the wife kept saying to like her parents and stuff that she wanted a Mazda 5, not CX-5, and I kept telling her you definitely don’t want the Mazda5. I told her to google it and she’s like oh.......

 

[Xeler8ing]

Seems not too many reviews/comparisons are happening now re CX-5

 

[boandlkramer]

Yet you already own a tall wagon...

You guys sure do some impressive mental gymnastics to suit your own little internal narratives lol

That’s for road trips...2 doors work for me

But honestly, the Mazda 5 handles really well, actually better than the CX-5.

Then unless you want to cram yourself in to a Miata...

Mazda should really make a modern version of the MX6 coupe though based on the 6 sedan for all the mid life crisis, 'empty nester's' to move up to.

Throw in the 2.5L T and AWD in the top model and we have a winner
