It beat out a Ford and a Mercedes in the final round. Here's an Autoblog gallery of pics... because North America won't be seeing in person in the next few years (if indeed, at all).

heheh i was about to post its win in South Africa http://motoring.iafrica.com/newsbriefs/321750.htm when i just saw this report:)

good scoop:)

oh and Mazda NA execs are now saying they are "looking into" the possibility of bringing the 2 here:)

Make mine green.

Good... they really should bring it over. I would also like to see if they will make/bring over something like a CX-5 (for the girlfriend, not me) in the future. I love the styling of the CX-7, but now more than ever I'm factoring gas prices into my future car purchases.

I will hold my small car purchase until Mazda gets off their butt and bring the 2 over here, Oh yeah, and dont' forget about the diesel engine either..

Dear Mazda NA,

Please don't make me buy a Fit -- bring the 2. Better yet, bring an MS 2.

No joke here. i hate both the fit and yaris. They look outdated and the interior designe is not attractive at all.
MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN LISTEN if you are. BRING THE 2 I WILL BUY IT.

The 2 would really cause some trouble in the small car market. I think the competiton is nervous at the thought. I know what it's like to operate on a strict budget (Completely different scale) and hopefully that isn't deterring Mazda NA from bringing it here.

Paul.

MazdaUSA seems to have finally noticed:

yeah and with Ford having the Fiesta which I think may be based off the same platform it would be hard for Mazda to be allowed to bring that to the US to compete with the dying motor co...

just give me this
