Woohoo! Mazda 2 coming to Canada



Source: globeandmail.com: Driving It Home - Exclusive: Mazda2 confirmed for Canada

Quote:
The Mazda2, a slick little subcompact sold in Europe and Asia, is coming to Canada, confirmed Mazda Motor Corporation president and CEO Takashi Yamanouchi.

“I've just decided,” said Yamanouchi, a 42-year veteran of Mazda who assumed the top job last November.
Now the big question is what engine choice(s) we'll get. Mazda is among the rare automakers that sometimes gives North American consumers a choice in engine sizes in its small cars. (I believe the Mazda 3 has several engine options).

I'm sure the Ford Fiesta, based on the Mazda 2 platform, will only come with one (relatively thirsty) engine.
