I want to replace my Citroen C8 with another MPV. Should I wait for the new Volkswagen Sharan and Mazda 5?

I am considering replacing my Citroen C8 with another MPV. We have enjoyed the space and sliding doors offered by the C8. We have recently looked at a Peugeot 5008, which looks smaller but well designed. I note that Volkswagen (Sharan) and Mazda (5) are going to release new MPVs later this year, both with sliding doors. Do you have any knowledge of these two cars and would it be worth waiting to look at them before choosing?

There's also a new Alhambra on the way. I'll be testing that in a couple of weeks. One of us will be doing the new Mazda 5 on 6 October. I think the new Sharan is already in car-by-car reviews.
