 This is a comparison, you need at least 2 cars to do it.

Agreed - very good news. Kudos to Mazda for spending money where it counts.
 
Wonder if they'll improve the center console, too? Offer a 7 seat model?

Agree, my bad . My wording was based on the fact that Cars.com had to compare all these diff. "purpose" cars to get to the final list, but I get it, did not look like an apples to apples type thing.
 
Those numbers look good in the Uplander BTW, I really like that car, problem I'm not into SUVs. Also, SUVs are not really hot for city driving IMO.

Uplander???? Thats one of the worst minivans on the market.
 You should test Mitsubishi Outlander yourself to find it's
near perfect handling and performance. The numbers are much better than any minivan out there, and better than most SUVs.

Arrggh, even the name is confusing! I was referring to the Outlander. Not my day to reply in here, LOL.
 
By the way, if you trace back this thread some months, I put the Outlander 2nd on my wish list. I really like it, except, as I said, I'm not an SUV fan (nor wife, who drives the Mazda5 everyday).

Would this help?
 
Close enough to get most of the 2008 model info (from Mazda USA, including pricing):

That console is an improvement, though I wish the storage where the CDs are were covered.
 
That armrest is a nice addition, too. You can barely see it.
