My thoughts exactly. Why would one waste the time and money on modifying a van?

Yeah, because it's a van! People don't generally buy them because their sporty.

If you polish a turd, it's still a turd.

Who said sport cars are the only good cars out there?

I'm a bit on the fence with this one.

They're the only ones that are really worth it.

I never said that sports cars are the only "good cars out there".

The Mazda5 has always been a nice looking van in stock form. I have no problem with personalizing it a bit. Especially being a Japanese van, you can practically buy them with bodykits like that in Japan. Hell, I like a hot tuned wagon too!

My only complaint is the gap in that front bumper! Yikes!

Waste of money IMHO. My "van" is a 2012 xB for winter only. I will put in "smart" features or convenient or comfort features. For example I have red floor lighting, HIDs, and LEDs but no wheels, body kit or spoilers. I'd rather put that stuff into a real performance car and not look like my riced out van is a wannabe. Sorry but that's the way I feel.

In the end it's up to the owner themselves to decide if the car is worth modifying.

And wbradley, i'm pretty sure alot of people will say the same thing about your fr-s.
