  Striving for Individuality From a Basic Platform
Mazda introduced its newest sedan, the 2006 Mazdaspeed6, which goes on sale in the United States in November.
That is one of the pitfalls of platform engineering, a practice born of necessary cost efficiencies in the capital-intensive automobile manufacturing industry.
Platform engineering saves big bucks, which is why all car companies use it in rolling out vehicles that often are visually different but technically and structurally the same beneath their sheet metal.

 Mazda MX-Flexa Review | AutoSite Car Previews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Initially, we thought this might be a replacement for the Mazda MPV minivan, but since it is based on an enlarged version of the Mazda 3 platform and is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, it’s clear that the MX-Flexa could not serve as the MPV’s replacement.
Rather, if Mazda decided to sell this space wagon in the States, it would slot between the Mazda 3 Hatchback and the Mazda MPV minivan, offering a more sensible alternative to the handsome new Mazda 6 Wagon.
With the upcoming Mazda 2, the existing Mazda 3 Hatchback, the dashing Mazda 6 Wagon and a redesigned MPV minivan in the works, it’s doubtful that the company will deem space wagons suitable for the U.S. Which, we suppose, was the point of debuting the MX-Flexa in Geneva rather than Detroit.

So Mazda is surely facing into a headwind by bringing to our vast land a minivan that is truly mini.
The Mazda 5 is significantly smaller than standard minivans, smaller even than Mazda's already smallish MPV, a vehicle that hasn't exactly set the category on fire.
Mazda uses a 2-2-2 seating configuration, and all rear seats fold, if not into the floor, at least pretty flat, leaving enough space to stuff an adult's bike inside without removing a wheel.
