2011 Mazda 2 U.S. version debuts
The sub-compact Mazda 2, a long-running staple of the Mazda line in Europe and Japan, has been launched for the first time in the United States as a 2011 model at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show.
While specs for the U.S. version have not been released, the 2011 Mazda 2 is actually just a facelifted smiley version of the existing model that has been around elsewhere for a couple of years now.
Interestingly, it is based on the Ford Fiesta platform, and likely shares similar engines. If correct, the U.S. version will get a 119 hp 1.6-litre 4-cylinder just like the Fiesta.
