Car and Driver Boss Wagon VI - Contest It’s the first Mazdaspeed 5 and one nasty minivan. But what should it look like?
July 2008
It’s time for Boss Wagon VI (or Boss Minivan I, if you prefer). We’ve corralled a Mazda 5 and a wrecked Mazdaspeed 3 and, as you read this, are in the process of migrating all the speed bits from the 3 to the 5, creating the first Mazdaspeed 5. Coming up with the concept was the easy part—the tough part is deciding how to paint it.
That’s where you come in. Download one or all of the templates below. Then, use your Photoshop (or Crayola) skills to “paint” Boss Wagon VI and send your design to us at
BossWagonVI@caranddriver.com or via snail mail to:

Whip up the winning design, and there’s a Car and Driver hoodie in it for you—and, of course, endless bragging rights over all your friends. Check back to this page for updates on the build, and thanks to our friends at Washtenaw Community College for the space and manpower for the project!

The template can be enlarged.
2. Is this for a paint job only, or can parts such as wheels and ground effects be added?
Please feel free to submit any modifications you’d like to see made.
3. Can the stance of the vehicle be modified?
