Mazda2 three-door and MPS details

Mazda will release a three-door version of its new Mazda2 compact in the second half of next year as well as a possible hotted up MPS (Mazdaspeed) version further down the track. The news comes from Mazda’s European boss James M. Muir, who revealed that Mazda wants to expand its sales in the B segment by introducing more variants. Mazda is targeting a 2.5% share of the B segment by 2009, but to achieve this it will need more models.

Small vehicle's simply get no more attractively designed than this, and a 2door variant can only sweeten the pot!

"Previous reports suggested the MPS will feature a 200hp 2.0L turbo four-cylinder, sending drive to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. The car will also likely receive a new sports bodykit, chrome exhaust tip and 17in alloys."

With how much this thing will weigh, it's going to be quick with that engine - not to mention the only subcompact with a 'performance' variant. Gas mileage should still be in the 30's for city.
