The Japanese automaker has a significantly larger portion of the Canadian market pie than it does in the U.S., so it makes sense that it would show off an upgraded Mazda2 interior in Toronto instead of in The Windy City.<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 Mazda2, which is earmarked to go on sale in North America beginning in late Summer, will benefit from higher quality seat fabric (with piping) along with a better audio system and more robust HVAC controls, among other changes. It is not immediately clear if the changes for the NA car will matriculate back into European market models, but the alterations should help give the Mazda2 a fighting chance against competitors like its platform-mate, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/fiesta\">Ford Fiesta<\/a>, as well as the next-generation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/11\/detroit-2010-chevrolet-aveo-rs-concept-answers-one-question-po\/\">Chevrolet Aveo<\/a> and models already on sale like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/accent\">Hyundai Accent<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/versa\">Nissan Versa<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/fit\">Honda Fit<\/a>.
