2007 Geneva Motor Show: More on the Mazda2

Mazda2500

Mazda unveiled its all-new global B-car — industry speak for subcompacts — the Mazda2 at the Geneva Motor Show yesterday. Powering this little guy are two four-cylinder gasoline engines, one producing just 75 hp and the other 103 hp. We’d guess only the more powerful engine will come to the U.S., but if Mazda does go ahead and import the Mazda2 here it might add an even bigger engine to satisfy American expectations. We’re still extremely impressed with the Mazda2, and are glad there are new images showing it in a non-neon green paint scheme. Check out the gallery below.

If I ever have to get a small car, this is wat it will be.

That is an awesome little car! I've looked around for a new small car lately and this looks prefect. I've found a few good contenders, mainly Fit (a little too bland though), Yaris (tacky centre-gauges were a turn-off), Versa (gets expensive with options), Aveo (had one, but wasn't reliable), and SX4 (loved it, but the fuel economy is dismal). If this car has a price that's comparable to the Yaris/Fit and gets good fuel economy, I'm sold!

Auto climate control on a subcompact? I've seen it on hybrids, but it's impressive to see it on a conventional subcompact. I hope it has the full complement of safety features--side airbags and stability control.

I like. I really like. It reminds me A LOT of the MX-3 that was sold here in the U.S. in the 90s.

I hope they decide to bring it here and not let Ford have the only version. Mazda (okay, and Ford) need little cars to compete with the Fit, Yaris, et al.
