I just have a quick question for everyone because I couldn't find the answer anywhere I've looked. Is Trackmania 2 backwards compatible with Trackmania Nations/United maps? In other words, could I possibly import one of those tracks into the editor or even play all my nations/united tracks with the updated visuals Trackmania 2 provides?

To put it simply: No. You could, maybe, rebuild them. But they'd be with TM2 pieces--and none of those pieces are directly compatible with TMUF. So you'd have to do a complete rebuild...

As far as I can gather, TM2 isn't backward compatible at all with any previous TM game .... apart from the horn

TM² uses a completely new environment with completely new blocks and completely new systems. Almost no backwards compatibility in tracks.

Thanks for clearing that up everyone. I was hoping Trackmania 2 would replace its predecessor and that I could experience my favourite tracks from the first game with the updated visuals (and probably many other things) but I guess this was meant to exist alongside of the first game.

Backward compatibility is a non sense here. You can't use a Stadium map on Island or any other environment, it's just the same with Canyon. It has nothing to do with being backward compatible or not.

Canyon is not the new Stadium, it's a 8th environment.
And btw... TM1 is not Stadium : Stadium is 1 of 7 environments of TM1.

For most people TM1 is indeed stadium.

And they aren't true

Okay, it was stadium and 6 bad environments that were only worth driving if you envmixed the stadium car into them.

You serious?
