They stopped doing those awhile back. I think these days they rebadge HiAce vans from Toyota....

Makes sense. I wouldn’t think that utility vehicles like these would be purchased for brand-specific attributes. It’s not like Mazda is going to imbue their zoom-zoom mentality into a work truck.

But that grille - it just looks so out of place.

Yeah well Mazda did share the Bongo with Ford for a while and Ford didn't make any improvements...apart from calling it Econovan!!

The Ford grille would actually look better. A little boring perhaps, but this a work van and doesn’t need to by stylish (see Nissan NV, a vehicle I don't envy... )
