Mazda2 Launches in North American in Los Angeles

The Mazda2 will be launched at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show in early December.

Named last year’s World Car of the Year and sold in Japan as the Demio, the Mazda2 goes on sale in late 2010 in the U.S. and Canada as a 2011 model.

The Ford Fiesta, which shares the Mazda2’s architecture, beats the Mazda2 to showrooms with a spring arrival. The Euro-designed Fiesta will be built in Mexico.

The Fiesta also will have its North American debut at the Los Angeles show.
