MAZDA
Production cars: The Mazda5, which will replace the Premacy medium minivan next summer or autumn. The Mazda5 was developed as part of Ford Motor Co.'s C1 Technologies program that also produces the Volvo S40/V50 lower-premium cars, the Mazda3 and new Ford Focus lower-medium cars and the Focus C-Max medium minivan. The Mazda5 will have sliding rear doors, a feature common in large minivans but rare among mid-sized versions. The car will offer seven seats, compared with the C-Max's five seats. Mazda will show a second car, described by a Mazda source only as "a production model with a 4wd system and a high-powered engine."
Talking points: The Mazda5's sliding rear doors will distance the minivan from its platform sibling, the Focus C-Max.
