Mazda2 wins World Car of the Year

The super-stylish and super-mini Mazda2 has been selected as the 2008 World Car of the Year by a jury of 47 international automotive journalists.

The Mazda2 edged out competitors including the Ford Mondeo and Mercedes-Benz C-Class to take the overall award.

The Mazda2 also featured on the short-list of the design award category, joining the Audi R8 and Volvo C30.

“The fact that a small hatchback with a starting price of less than $20,000 has won WCOTY in 2008 shows just how good Mazda has become at building stylish, safe, sophisticated and enjoyable cars,” said WCOTY’s Australian judge, Bill McKinnon.
