Officially titled the Salon International de l’Auto de Genève, the Geneva Motor show press days are March 6 and 7, and the public days are March 8-18. Mazda will hold its press conference on Tuesday, March 6, at 2:15 p.m. (local time).

The all-new Mazda2 is more than just a model freshening of the current Mazda2. In 2002, the Mazda6 heralded the arrival of Mazda’s new generation of Zoom-Zoom vehicles, and now the Mazda2 becomes the first of these to evolve to the next level. As such, the new Mazda2 represents the progression of Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom brand promise. Plans to import Mazda2 to North America continue to be considered. However, at this time, there is no current intention to do so.

Could you explain the meaning of “Zoom-Zoom” conception?!

This is my first post here, loving the site, keep up the good work! Check out my blog if you have time, it’s still in it’s infancy, but trying to develop it of course:

I’m particularly interested in the power figures for the ‘high-powered’ diesel mentioned…anybody have them? Here in Europe, high powered diesels are the rage, have been for a couple of years now! So if this Mazda has a really good engine, could make for big sales over here I reckon.

Nice looking car, but here in Europe is too many similar cars…

This looks a whole lot better than the current Mazda2, which greatly resembled a van. Only the styling seems to matter in a Mazda car parts that composes this… Looks sharp, defined and youthful. The power though will need a boost to adhere to Americans’ thirst for power. A Mazdaspeed2 would be pretty cool.
