To rival the amazing Ford Fiesta in the North American market, Mazda is going to offer its super small 2 series hatchback there, from summer 2010. Although Mazda2 seems a bit too small for the super-sized Americans, but Mazda believes that people will embrace it well, just as they did the thin laptops and MP3 players! The car was first launched in 2007 in Europe and Japan, and thanks to its funky looks and nice features, it has won many awards.

Being a compact car, Mazda2 is an eco-friendly and efficient five-door hatchback. But according to Mazda it is also quite dynamic and joyful to drive.

It features a sophisticated suspension system with MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion-beam axle at the rear along with improved steering and braking systems. Mazda has actually modeled the car’s chassis setting on the amazing MX-5, which is great because of its simplicity.

Engine lineup, trim leves and pricing on the 2011 Mazda2 for American market will be announced later.
