Is the Mazda 2 a Yaris copy?

It's not identical, but there are similarities, if you can't see the similarities then there isn't a difference between apples and oranges either in your view.

There is nothing alike with the 2 except that they are both sub-compact hatchbacks. They both have a 4-cylinder engine, 4 wheels, seats, steering wheel and usual car parts.

Do we realize we're talking about 3-4 year old cars?

Now with the next gen of these cars, they actually will be the same car under the skin.

Yeah, the people saying the two aren't even close crack me up! Put a Yaris badge on a 2 and nobody would even notice...

I saw (parked away from other cars) what appeared to be a 2014 '2' in a grocery store parking lot the other day. The color of the '2' was very close to my Bayou Blue. I stood far enough away that I could get a good perspective (no other cars in my field of vision). I was definitely struck by the strong similarity. My viewpoint = seeing the whole driver'sw side and the whole rear end...and not a bit of the passenger side or the front.....as I walked backwards, farther and farther away. Too bad I didn't have a camera with available memory with me.
