This seems to be a developing story, so I don't know if it will hold up. And in an interesting but not very surprising twist:

When we park near standard minivans, it is positively diminutive. You actually can't see it behind a regular sized minivan. But it has an enormous amount of room on the inside, including three rows of seats when you need to ride with 6 people (7 if at least three of them are kids). With the third row seats down, we can fit my wife and I up front, my two kids in the second row, and the two dogs in the back. With the standard mini van sliding doors on both sides, and the hatch back, it is a great dog friendly, family friendly car. Perfect for hiking with the pooches and the kids. We all pop out of our own doors and are ready to hit the trails. We even gave the car a motto: "it just makes sense." Maybe not Madison Ave. worthy, but it is true. And able to park in San Francisco's tight spaces also... I drive a Mazda5 and have since 2006. When we park near standard minivans, it is positively diminutive.
