Mazda 2, aka Yariskiller, Fitslayer - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Revenge · 04-16-2007, 12:55 PM

This one sexy little car, and IMHO spanks Toyota AND Honda in terms of style. I know it's been posted before, but here's a ton of pics to give you a better idea.

Speculated to be available sometime in 2008 for North America... if so, I'll without a doubt be going Mazda.

I like the interior but never been a fan of 5door hatchbacks.

Vervepipes · 04-16-2007, 01:05 PM

Same. I got mine because it's a sedan

Doc Zaius · 04-16-2007, 01:19 PM

5 door hatchbacks rule! And that new Mazda is mint. Very, very nice. Yay for B-segment cars!!

brickhardmeat · 04-16-2007, 01:59 PM

5 door, yuck

TrancosRt · 04-16-2007, 02:14 PM

Nice car, but I'm not planning on giving up the Yaris anytime soon.
However, I am glad to see small Euro-styled cars in NA. I've been a fan of them for the longest (I'm still in love with the Peugeot 206... What a nice ride!!)

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-16-2007, 03:27 PM

i hate the placement of the shifter, same as the new Si...

St_G · 04-16-2007, 03:40 PM

I like everything but the stupid pattern on the seat. I'm not going to trade in my three month old Toyota for one, but it's very nice looking.

ChinoCharles · 04-16-2007, 03:52 PM

The exterior styling is nice albeit a total ripoff of the Fit and Yaris, especially the latter.

The interior is disgusting. Typical monochromatic Detroit garbage. One of the things I love about my Yaris... the materials aren't the best by any stretch, but my interior definitely has three different colors. It doesn't bore the senses like the interior of this car will being that it is all done in shades of gray.

Its coming here as a Ford? Good... that way it won't soil my opinion of Mazda anymore than it already is.

Oh I agree, I can TOTALLY see some duplicated Yaris lines... most noticeably the shape of the side windows. I believe this interior is much more interesting than the Yaris' silver monolith, though... at least there IS something going on elsewhere in the dash. I tend to prefer interesting shape over interesting color. And as far as the monochromatics, yeah, it's dull, but they probably did that on purpose and will offer a simulated metal finish trim as an option (if I had my guess).

Lazagna, you think the shifter is odd there, you should have seen it on my 1972 Honda Z600... it came straight out of the dash about where the temp controls are for the Mazda 2!

One thing I've just noticed that I DO really hate is the built-in CD player... no aftermarket possibilities there!

Why on earth would people who own Yarii be interested in Ford and Mazda crap?
No Offense but the Ford Fiesta (Mazda engine) was a good cheap small car, but I haven't seen anything close to that from Detroit lately.
