I read that article and some of the comments below it and couldn't help but get livid with the stupidity of people and the random things they say without so much as a simple fact check.
Would you buy a MAZDASPEED2?

I, for one, would go GAGA over a Speed2! All I'd want would be a turbo 1.5l, manual trans, and a hood like the MS3.

$16k in 2002 != $16k in 2012.
I'd love to just see some Mazdaspeed options start becoming available. I know they have the B Spec package, but it would be cool to see little individual things being sold as options at the dealers. IE: Optional wheels like Canada, Front lip, short shifter etc.

It's full in the UK but bare in the US.

A MS2 would be a niche car regardless. Wouldn't it?
Why would one assume that if the Mazda 3 costs the same amount as a MS2 that one would buy the Mazda 3 instead? The Mazda 3 is bigger in size then the Mazda 2. I specifically want a small hot hatch. So i would not buy a Mazda 3 over a MS2. Size and value of car don't go hand in hand to me.

The problem is you, and the rest of us, are part of a small online community of enthusiasts; a minority. The economics of a MS2 just wouldn't make sense to Mazda, who is currently having a bit of a financial crisis. The average American is looking for the most he/she can get for the least amount of money. 80% of Americans will not purchase a small car if they can get a larger one with similar power and economy for the same price (i.e. if you put a 3 engine in a 2). The point of my posts are while I'd love to see a MS2 it would not be a good idea for Mazda to build one.I'm the guy that would buy the smaller MS2.

I have to agree on all your points.

From what I hear, the fiesta st. is coming. So, we will see if there is a market.
That being said, if a ms2 gets to close to the price of a 3, I would go for the most bang for my buck, and get a 3.
Heck, I have a mz6 right now because the price was right, and it gets about the same mpg as the 3. (non skyactive)

Just give it the CX5's 2.0 skyactive. That would be perfect! 155hp in the little 2 would be astonishingly good. It would also likely do 50mpg!
Well, me too. I generally don't understand people buying bigger cars for riding alone. Big machines have their use, but riding to/from work alone 99% of the time - who needs Camry/Accord for that?
But people are irrational and some habits are difficult to get rid of. Just look at older folks choosing Town Cars and the like.

All wheel drive?! You're dreaming! haha
RWD would be an even bigger pipe dream.
