How much? I’ll be buying a hatchback around that time..

ahhh….what??? where did this come from??

that green one reminds me of the euro ford focus!

I heard rumors of two more smaller Mazdas coming, as well. The Mazda 1 is a motorcycle, and the Mazda 0 is a bicycle. There may even be a Mazda .5, which is rumored to be a scooter.

I like the funky interior. It has a lot of character.

Looks better than the Yaris.

Beatus, the 3 door just might be an alternative to your Smart. It can’t be that much bigger.

I think I still prefer my Fiesta

But maybe Ford will use the 3-door Mazda 2 sales to gauge interest in a 3-door fiesta variant…

I wonder how much cargo space the hatch will have. If it can’t carry a duffel bag, 1 piece of check-on luggage, and 1 carry-on…

…I’d have to pass.

The thought is definitely in my mind, Johnny. If the price is right, and Mazdas tend to be priced very competitively…

Don’t wait up for the sedan to make the trip, but this is good news
Look at the bolsters on those seats!
Expect $12-$17k pricing, in line with cars like Toyota Yaris

its about time…they’ve been talking about it for years now

Cute little things. I like it a lot, probably will not sell.

YES !!! a Yaris killer!!!!!!

Gotta love those Recaros!! I love the car but lets see sub$10K seats.

Hurry and get them while they’re mouthless.

Soon they’ll be sprouting one of those giant mouthes.

Unless you like the smiley warriors. I myself stare at one when I feel depressed.

Next Mazdaspeed I hope

Proton Satria Competitor?????

The Fiesta looks better and if we twist FORD’s arm enough, we could get AWD with it as well.

I’m a little surprised.. but it makes sense if they plan to build the US models alongside the Fiesta in Mexico.. considering they are the same vehicle underneath. Wonder if Mazda will bring the sedan as well.. for some reason I think the two hatches would be a better fit for Mazda’s “Zoom-Zoom” image.. but it does look better than the Fiesta version.

The only reason why Mazda is able to do this now is because they’ve separated themselves from Ford. I don’t believe Ford would have permitted this

The Chevy Cruze will sell because of high pressure old school closer like myself. ABC

My next car.

Mazdaspeed this with racing seats and other crap and they may sell a few. I raced a mazdaspeed3 and sat on it’s face with my 350z. I could have sworn the 4 bang turbo would have put up a little fight but no go on that bet. It’s ok speed isn’t everything. This is cute if I wasn’t such a tuff guy.

So, it’s only one model 5-door hatch with 1.5-liter engine, according to this source:

“Automotive News [sub] reports that the Mazda2 (Demio in Japan) has been approved for a Fall 2010 launch in the US market. Mazda is clearly targeting the Honda Fit’s recent success, with only the 5-door, 1.5 liter version approved for the US. The stateside rollout will also coincide with a mid-cycle refresh, which means the interior will be improved over the current European version. Unfortunately, this also means the 2 will be saddled with Mazda’s new Pikachu-on-SSRIs grin.”

Bimmer, they pay a lot of guys who still live at home with their parents to crunch numbers and come up with these grandiose decisions. They’re easy to recognize. Wait until it’s dark and if you can still see their pasty white glow then hope to hell you remembered to pack your wooden stake along with your Twinkie that morning.

This and the Fiesta are like the only two decent looking small vehicles on the road.

Although, there is one thing I am disappointed in. The prev gen had projector headlamps, and all Mazdas, save for the Tribute have them. I wonder why they ditched them on this model?

Should have called it “GLC”.

taillights are lancer-like

better looking than the yaris…

I think last night I bench pressed more then that 3-door weighs…lol. Just another midget clown car that will be very inexpensive to buy and be worth as much as a packet of cigarettes after 3-4 years. Enjoy!

05z88- Give the Dems a few more years and a pack of cigs will cost as much as a compact car anyway.

I can’t wait to drive over these things in my gas guzzler.

Better looking than the Mazda3’s clown/Joker face.

Eh…I’m not feeling it. The 2011 Ford Fiesta is a better car and is MUCH better looking

These hatchbacks look pretty good in person running around Europe. I’ve never come across a sedan version. I have a feeling a Mazda2 sedan will be as much a yawn as the Ford Fiesta sedan. Stick to the hatches

I like the 3-door, but that’s just because I like Coupes in general, except for the Accord coupe. Now, in all reality, Mazda should just bring the 5-door if they HAVE to choose, since who’s really going to buy this? Women with little kids or old people. Now if they could bring over both, I would have the 3-door there in smaller quanities.

This should have been over here 2 years ago – that’s there fault. Gas prices had been expensive before AND competitors like Toyota Yaris and Chevy Aveo had already caught on somewhat, so why the hold up Mazda?

According to MazdaUSA.com, the Mazda 3 starts at just over $16,000. That means the 2 is going to start below that, which could be around $12,000. Let’s see what kind of features it has when it arrives. I like the design, but if it has no AC, no radio and no airbags for that price, no thanks. I think they will make it good, though.

what’s wrong with the honda accord coupe?

It looks like a shortened Toyota Matrix from the side.

i hate all theses little cars

then you will be sorely disappointed for the next few decades…

And will go the way of the dinosaurs…

Please don’t ruin this with a giant grin!

Chevrolet Aveo wannabe. Only this POS will have .001 the quality, relibility and dependibility of the class leading Chevy. Plus you’ll be an embarrassment to your Country for driving an import.

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM
Diversity is perversity

Is it just me or did the Yaris get rebaged?

Is it just me or did someone just refer to the Aveo as “class leading?!” Have we fallen down the rabbit hole?!

We need more and more cars like that here in North America. Way too many SUVs being sold here!!!
