Warren Brown and Lou Ann Hammond chat about cars on www.washingtonpost.com June 15, 2012

LOU ANN HAMMOND :

One chatter asked if mazda had announced when skyactiv will be in the mazda5?

Mazda said it had not been announced yet, but that “It’ll be whenever the full model-change occurs.”

Hi, curious to know if Hyundai/Kia are planning on delivering a new minivan to our shores anytime soon? Our minivan is aging and want to see what they might be up to, thanks!

Hyundai has no plans for a minivan in the U.S

Kia’s response was, “For MY13 the Sedona will not be making an appearance. As you know, I cant discuss future product plans for competitive reasons. Howe’ver, Sedona sales YTD are up 6.2 percent and it’s a market Kia strongly believes in.”
