khatbhej 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 thanx cyrus, although i doubt whether this will do any good to nissan. i feelthey will directly launch the next-gen micra in india. and that too at a time when polo and beat will already be there, along with the current hatches. so the pie will almost be finished when nissan thinks it has arrived Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is sheer RIDICULOUSNESS Can anyone of you imagine buying a sedan version of A-Star. The very idea sounds foolish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samaritan 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 The design sketch looks good. It seems Nissan has already started appointing dealers. The frugal 1.5 Renault engine is a perfect fit for the Micra, might even be the mileage king in its segment. It will have to go head-on with the Swift. Any attempt to sell it as a premium hatch will spell doom for Nissan's first serious attempt at a mass produced car in India. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 The sketches are always good but lets wait for the India production version . The current one looks like a bug no offence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its always production version will not be same as the concept.. But some how GMDAT has got the same as concept in the Chevy beat(Those head lamps). Nissan has to come back long way to compit with MSIL & Hyundi.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creativebala 178 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 Actually Nissan said it will come up with micra in 2010 starting and according to this article, this Micra will be launced around aug-sep 2010. Why this funny logic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khatbhej 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 no idea. is there a chance that nissan will launch the old micra in india mid 2010, and will produce this micra at chennai for export market (as it might not be cheap enough to sell here)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is sheer RIDICULOUSNESS Can anyone of you imagine buying a sedan version of A-Star. The very idea sounds foolish. Before letting loose your sarcasm, get your facts right. The Nissan Pixo is the car based on the A-Star platform and not the Micra which is under discussion here. The Micra can have a boot if the Swift can, since they are comparable in size.
