While the little Nissan micra may still have some funky design on the front facia, but it might eat a good portion of the mini's market sales.

We must also remember the Japs started the small economical match box segment.
If Nissan wants this car to be really successful against the Mini, they must bring to the U.S. market. I don't care who or what you are if you are not known here, then you are not a true star yet. I think this car could be a good alternative to the high price Mini. Now if they can only beef up the front a little and keep it lower than Mini.

Saw these things in Europe when I was over there. They're hideous enough without the rice body kit. The MINI will win on looks and charm. This thing has the charisma of old shoes...

i like the look of the car for what it is. and mini needs something to drive their price down. all they need is a movie with this in it like the italian job did for the mini and it will be a hit. as for the article...well...better luck next time. good story tho, anyway i wish it had pics there with the top up and not just down. definatly a chic car, if ur a guy you would have to be hung like a horse to drive it

Oh God, grow some nuts and stop being such pussies, guys. As for huu76, you seem to be especially sensitive, and assume any attack on an Asian company is due to the fact that is wasn't produced by a "white country".

Japs, Japanese, same difference in my book. It's like referring to Jewish people as Jews. Even though it's politically correct to call me African-American, black will suffice.

Lighten the f^&$ up!

Nope they didn't.

Ever heard of the Ford model T ?!
How about the KDF/VW Type 1/Bettle ?!
How about the Austin 7, Morris Minor or the 1959 "original" Mini ?!
How about the Citroen 2 CV, Fiat 500, Renault 4 ?!

Learn some automotive history.

They don't need to bring this over because for my money I would get the Mini and if I wanted a drop top I would go for the SKY
