I actually like the quirky design. It’s tough to get a sense of the size, but it looks like it might be on par with the old Mazda MPV.

Oof. That doesn’t do much for my Freedom™ units brain. I’m trying to imagine 3.4 yards and that seems like what I imagine the MPV to be. So, that seems about right.
