new stuff; I like the Porsche Boxter Speedster. 2700lbs...320hp and damn good looking! Saw one in white/black in Autoweek. Some of the new little,little cars are...scary. Makes my Atom seem..big!

its not that small !not like my mazda AZ1 more the size of a mini . speeking of mini's how about the new mini speedster ? i too like the new porsche boxster . i buy and flip alot if cars i had two boxsters one was a base model and the other was an S . i never had more tire kickers than with the two boxsters . i like the new alfa romeo's too but i think its going to be hard for them to get a dealer network set up in the US at this time ?

I like the Mazda 2 as well.They have been selling it in Europe for a few years now and I am suprized they waited this long to bring it here.Mazda is such a great company for all us grassroots racers,nice contigencey money for autocross/road racing along with the excellent prices on all parts from Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development. My 3rd gen RX7 is 16 yrs old very limited units car and I can go online and order every single mechanical or body part for the car at a discount after showing them 2 timed events in a year.
Nice company

Isn't Ford selling a model based on the same car..the Fiesta or something?

[chaos4NH]

Ya, but the Ford model ain't gots no bal........ oooops forgot this is a co-ed forum. The Ford model don't go!

[breakaway500]

The Ford gets the same 1.6l 120hp motor,and the Fiesta may possibly get a 1.8L H.O. version,but I also read the Ford will be available with a slick dual clutch 6 speed,where the Mazda2 won't have this option.So..we shall see! I would love to see one of them put a 2.0L turbo engine in one of these 2100lb cars.
