New Nissan Hatch

Autoweek's story




Another small car... Honda used to be so great in this segment. Honda needs to bring the Fit/Fit Aria here! All the other companies are coming strong with their hatch and other small cars because of the success of Scion.

I like this look. Very aggressive. Mini-Murano.

Yeah, I like some hatches too, but the selection of hot hatches are so limited here. We have in the 3-door segment only VW's GTi/R32 and Honda's Si. Theres a better selection in the 5 door segment, but not all of them are sporty.

^^ Don't forget though, Nissan will be bringing in the Azeal or a small car directly meant to compete in the two door segment that the Tc is in. I think they will be doing something similar to Toyota where they have a small hatch, a sedan and a coupe with, if I know Nissan's strategy, an SE-R version for all of them.

looks too much like the xA and rdbest, don't worry the jazz/fit IS coming here on the states like next year or late this year that's why the civic brand is going up a notch. btw: Nissan sucks hardcore at least to those mechanics that i know of. if nissan was so good on reliability and quality then yall should have bought a sentra not a civic right? well heh.

Which one is that? The sedan? We should get the small hatch too. And a Civic hatch available in other trims (not just one manual with one engine).

Oh well, I'm just whining because I would use one and I'd pick it over a heavy/expensive CR-V any day of the week.

Nissan is good. Or at least they have been in the past. They have been conisitantly heading towards better recently. They have some quality issues, but mostly on lower end models. Altima and Senta's are the biggest complaints taht I know of.

i like the aggressive styling on the outside. the interior is a bit weak. looks cheap. im sure that it will change if this goes into the production though. would be interesting to see the final design.
