I don't own a Mazda5 yet, but I took a test drive and liked it very much except I could not see the end of the hood. Has that been a problem for anyone? How about parking? Thanks.

You can raise the height of the driver's seat. I forgot about this until recently. I'm 5'1" and find it makes a big difference.

Does anyone know when the 2008 Mazda5's will be at the dealer's showrooms?

Is there any links to how the 2008 Mazda5 looks, or what the price will be? Will it go up from the 2007 models? Looking to buy really soon and I am trying to weigh the going for the 2007 option or waiting for the 2008. I like the rear air of the 2008, but I like the sticker of the 2007. How long do we have to wait before it arrives anyway?

The recent sales results for M5 is a disappointment. I wonder if making it a 6+1 seater (just like outside of NA) could revive the product?! So far, to switch from M3 to M5 gains you an extra seat (in the back) and looses some handling due to extra 500 pounds. Not a very good incentive. Although, I do like the shape and versatility.
For 800 units/month it's not worth even bringing a '08 model. (Yes, of course Rondo is partially behind it, just like the managers in Mazda USA, who can't respond adequately)

I'm going to have to disagree with you. The M5 is the family version of the M3 and it has a sure spot( while a small one at that, yet still a spot ) in the market share. The M5 and M3 is sort of like the HHR and the Cobalt. The Cobalt sales the vast majority while the HHR is more of a novelty, and sales to fewer but yet enough to be profitable. True, the M5 will never sale what the M3 will but it brings Mazda into a segment that the M3 cannot compete in. It is far from a disappointment, rather a marketing and design masterpeice.
 
Plus: There is a lot more people room in a M5 then there is in a M3.

Sounds like Mazda is keeping their quality up. I will say that the Mazda 5 we checked out was very refined. We went down the street to the Kia place to check out the Rondo and after I had compared the two, it just felt like Mazda put more time in their product then Kia did. Kia just felt tinny and 'cheap' I totally believe that Mazda is top quality.

This looks like it only applies to cars built in Japan. Is the Mazda5 built in Japan? I thought they were built in a US factory.
