Mazda is winding down production of their MPV
minivan. The new CX-9, while not a direct replacement, likely will find a larger audience than the mini-MPV minivan was ever able to capture. I've long felt that the American family by and large does not like small minivans. Sales of these smaller models have never been good...
I think the MPV is a victim of that, along with the SWB Chrysler minivans. Maybe with these new high gas prices that may change. Who knows... But even so, Mazda doesn't have the production capacity to do the CX-7, CX-9 and MPV. Something had to give, and so the older MPV got the ax.
