I don't do metrics, but I do (google)

Thank you Jandree22, I didn't know Google could do that.

 

[jandree22]

no problem, I just searched for "mm inches" "liter feet", etc. There are some online calculators that will convert their metric mumbo-jumbo into our clearly superior Standard measurement system.

I was teaching a sixth grade math class about six weeks ago and we were doing conversions between metric and standard units of measure. After struggling through this for about 20 minutes the one sixth grader gave the most priceless comment on the whole situation: "You know, the whole rest of the world must think we are idiots for measuring this way, the metric stuff is so much easier to figure out." I didn't know what to say other than "Your probably right." .

I guess I should know this, but are they bringing the Mazda2 to North America?

 

[opus]

Yes, in one form or another. Word is that it will be badged as a Ford and will be built in Brazil. Ford just shipped the lead engineer on the mustang to Brazil to facilitate the production of the car.

Is there an ETA for the Mazda2?
My wife has hijacked the 5 and forced me to drive our old Jeep.
The tourque is fun, but I miss the handling and braking of the 5.
I have been eying the 3, but would love to eek out a few more mpgs with the price of gas what it is.

That was easy to digest . By the way, if Ford brings it to NA, How are they going to call it? "The return of the Fiesta?" (headshake)

 

[RODSCALIP5]

Why does everyone keep saying "if Ford brings it to N/A"? I never knew it was for them to decide.

because there IS a ford version

Beause, even though we hate to admit it, Ford holds a controlling stake in Mazda, and therefore any decision regarding the release of either a Ford or Mazda product in the states goes through Ford.

I know about Ford owning stake in Mazda, but never heard of Ford having to approve Mazda model releases in the U.S.

I had to edit cause I think I got your point. So, too much for my rhetorical question (scratch)

So, if I got it right, Ford in other countries already sells the MZ2 disguised as a Fiesta? I really hope if it comes branded as a Ford in NA, at least the Ford marketing fellows are more creative with the car's name and don't leave it as is.

 

[coolmazda5]

As Jandree would say: I just (google) it ...

So it may make it to NA as Mazda2 in 2008 after all

Looks sharp. I would wait to see the next gen MZ3 or MZ6 before though...

 

[zoomzoom mazda5]

Looks great but who knows want mazda is going do before it hit the states. Hope they add more hp to it. zoomzoom(wiggle)

 

[TheMAN]

I want it in turbo diesel if they're going to sell it here

The Mazda2 was introduced at last week's Geneva Motor Show. They showed the 1.3 litre version which gets 43.6mpg. It goes on sale immediately in Europe. The smaller version has a different front end treatment than the upscale model Autoblog.com showed earlier. The latter is definately a treat for the eyes in dark gray with it's CX-7 look-alike arched front fenders, cool 16" alloys, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and shifter knob. The center stack bows outwards and the audio display is an oval shape surrounded with a chrome bezel with similar bright metal surrounding the controls on each side. Not highly reflective, it's more like an edge trim.

Size-wise think of other sub-compacts with the bobed-tail look and a Z-4 character line sculpture sweaping along the lower door area. The high-end Mazda2 comes with front disc brakes and rear drums similar to the earlier Mazda Proteg. It will be over 400 pounds lighter though. Unlike all other Mazdas, it will have an H-type beam axel in the rear instead of independent suspension -- i.e. Toyota Corolla.

So, a Mazda3 may be a better choice even though the Mazda2 looks like what a mid-decade 21st Century car should be. It's styling is way ahead of Honda's compact car.

Mazda is considering selliing it in North America next year if they can get production up. They expect to sell 1500 in the UK alone.
