Even though the Dodge Caliber only seats '5', I would say it's quite similar to the Mazda 5. Unique is a kind term for both.

In concept, perhaps, but not in execution, according to road tests. The Caliber is described as feeling numb. Of course, that won't be a minus for its intended market.

Of course, you could get 3 MX-5s ;-)

Seems rather similar to the Honda Odyssey. The Honda seats 7, but only because of differant design of the middle seat. Not sure that makes the Mazda "unique"

It's hard to tell from a photo lacking other vehicles for reference but I believe the '5' is substantially smaller than an Odyssey (sp?).

Manufacturers sites give a mass of 1610Kg for the Honda, 1511 for the Mazda, in base spec. Much the same.
