i doubt anyone wanted this in US :-).

But you know... I dont see why would anyone complain if they got Mazda5 space in Yaris sized package...

That means that eventually, in Corolla you will be able to get same sized interior as in Avalon...

Well the Mazda5 isn't much longer than a Mazda3 and it's decently spacious. A Yaris-sized MPV isn't out of the question. 7 passengers? might be a squeeze esp. if it's just as wide as a Yaris. I like the 6-passenger layout of the Mazda5.

I think the 6-passenger format is for USDM models. Overseas, I do believe that they offer 7-seater variants. Just take your pick

Well that's just great and uninteresting; can we revisit the LF-A now?

Ahh yes, you are right sir. I completely forgot about that. Probably a good thing too since 7 might, umm, exceed the carrying capacity.
