2011 Mazda Mazda2 (photos)
Although Mazda was tight-lipped with the details, we were able to get a look at the 2011 Mazda2 at the 2009 LA Auto Show.

Antuan Goodwin gained his automotive knowledge the old fashioned way, by turning wrenches in a driveway and picking up speeding tickets. From drivetrain tech and electrification to car audio installs and cabin tech, if it's on wheels, Antuan is knowledgeable.
At last, the 2008 World Car of the Year makes its debut in U.S. trim.
Mazda was surprisingly tight-lipped about the Mazda2's engine and estimated fuel economy.
We don't expect the 2 to differ too much from its Euro-spec sibling, so we predict a 1.3- to 1.5-liter gasoline engine.
Fuel economy is expected to hover around a combined 35 mpg, with predictably low emissions to match.
Of course, the Mazda2 shares a platform with the Ford Fiesta, so expect a similar footprint and interior dimensions.
In addition to the stock production model, Mazda brought along a trio of modified Mazda2s.
This model is equipped with upgraded wheels and a roof rack, complete with snowboarding equipment. Custom 2-themed graphics complete the package.
As a fan of small, fast cars, this Mazda2 equipped with Mazdaspeed accessories is one of my favorites.
A custom body kit and uprated suspension components should help this hatch deliver on the Zoom-Zoom promise.
Projector style headlamps with black housings give the Mazdaspeed Mazda2 an aggressive aesthetic.
