Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for Mazda to introduce another new car to the American public. This time, however, we are finally competing with the Rabbit's, Yaris', Fit's, and Versa's of the world. Now you already know if it is a Mazda, it is going to have better styling than any of the aforementioned; it is also going to have more "Zoom-Zoom" as well. I do not know all of the particulars, but what I can tell you from what I have read is that it will average 40mpg from a 1.6 liter engine, and produce around 120 hp with about that many lb-ft of torque. I want one; I have been waiting for us to come out with something really inexpensive that I can use as a commuter. Do not get me wrong; I love my Mazda6 and my CX-9 but I need something smaller since my kids will not ride with me because of my random fits of "road rage." This car will also fit in my garage with all the excess stuff my wife won't throw away. It will fit snugly up against our ice cream maker and "bicyle built for two" that we swore we would use. I can actually start putting spare change in my car again to spend on gas instead of lottery tickets. The best thing of all is that I will actually now have a decent car payment instead of the $500 plus payments of the present. The MSRP of the new Mazda2 will be around the $14,000 to $16,000 range. I am truly excited about this vehicle, and you will be too!
