New Nissan subcompact?

[benyl]

Next year, Nissan will bring to market not only its long-delayed new Sentra but also the company’s first U.S. subcompact in years.



Sources confirm that the smaller car will be an as-yet-unnamed, essentially identical version of the Japanese-market Tiida (above). Both a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan are set to bow at the Detroit auto show in January and will go on sale next summer. For now, we won’t be getting a version of the hot Sport Concept show car (below), but rumors have the next-generation Cube making its debut after the Tiida. The new Sentra is scheduled to follow in fall 2006.

i would have no problems with that har if it had an H or an M, or even a T on the front of it..


But that is NOT a nissan.

Check out the front, It's sporting the corporate nissan grille. Looks pretty nissan to me.

Why does the Tiida look so much like a Renault Megane? IMO, Renault's and Nissan's corporate faces look very similar. (Yes, I know Renault owns Nissan. )

So the sport concept did get put into production! I saw pictures of it over a year ago. Can't wait to see it hit these shores (if it ever does).

I don't understand why they don't just use the same names they use in Japan.
