The new Mazda 2 debuted in Geneva may come to the USA in 1.5L 101bhp (100 lb-ft) form to compete against the Honda FIT.



I like it! A Mazdaspeed 2 with say 200bhp?! 200bhp maybe asking much, but a 170bhp turbocharged version in a 2200 lb car sold in the mid teens would be a great success IMO. The base version weighs in at just over 2,100 lbs

 

Looks like a Peugeot 206 ... but I like it. Very economical I'm sure and a lot of people would buy it over the Fit. Wouldn't be a bad move on Mazda's side.

 

It actually probably won't according to Mazda...

However a rebadged Mazda2 in the form of a Ford Fiesta, WILL be coming to North America in 2008

 

ford fiesta, no thanks.... ford festiva...hells yeah.

Why can't ford give me my mid-engine rwd Yamaha-powered Festiva?? Is that too much to ask?

Is MattyP gunna have to kill a Jay Leno?? [/wayne brady]

 

mmmmm..... how bout a huyabusa powered smart car!!
i say we race... lol

 

Actually the Fiesta is a hell of a car ! It has never come to the US before... I think you are thinking of the KIA peice of crap that came after the Festiva

 

ford fiesta RS maybe?

 

I like the Mazda 2

 

either way.. some poor car salesman is going to get scared in the test drive
