Mazda 2 caught in the US
- Thread starter Zoom49
- Start date

- 2008 Mazda5 5MT Sport w/ Popular Package
Some of the US dealers were mad at Mazda because the 2 is only coming to Canada. I'm not sure how many dealers we're talking about. If the US wants the car bad enough and will commit to an acceptable number of cars I'm sure it will happen. But originally MNAO didn't want this car and Canada has been begging for it for a few years.
Probably not that difficult, but keep in mind our car prices are higher here.

True, you may be able to get a US 2008.5 Mazda3i for the price of a CA Mazda2 (boom03)

I've sent a few tips to Autoblog over the years and it seems I'm either too late each time or they don't want to show us any "luv"...In anycase...I'm really excited to see Mazda showing interest in releasing the Mazda2 Stateside!
It will be interesting to see how this plays out...

Out in Australia (has been for a little while now - we got the predecessor too)... the Genki (top trim package) looks pretty damned hot - powerplant across the australian range is the 1.5L MZR thingy.... and there is rumours that there MAY be a petrol turbo version soonish....
In japan I believe there is a 1.3L miller cycle supercharged varient for ultimate fuel ecomony....Antoine can probably verify this for us

I just wish it would get here already, as a mazda dealer we have alot of people calling and asking about the 2. somehow they end up at www.mazda.co.uk.

I dont think a sedan will happen with this small of car, you lose too much space.
so true! It so strongly seems like FORD is making this process go really slow for MNAO. They know the ORIGINAL, better "Fiesta" would seriously threaten Ford's version which is probably still having the badges and sheetmetal made. WHat gets m is that it's Mazda's car and engineering, they have a RIGHT to sell the damn vehicle here, well before Ford's Fiesta
Knowing MNAO, they're going to probably detune and tinker with the MPS 2 (MS2), just like they did with the MSP, in order to cut costs.
Hopefully that won't be the case, if and when the MPS2(MS2) gets here... if ever.
