NISMO S-tune Versa in the U.S.?

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:16 pm

Photos appearing on China Car Times this morning suggest the new Nissan 370Z is not the only product to get a Nismo S-Tune sports package. The 2009 Nissan Versa, known as the Tiida in China, is seen here sporting NISMO colors and a badge proclaiming the S-Tune. Other than the paint and badge, the only hint this is a special model is the sharp body kit. Could we get one here?

The Nissan offered in the People's Republic of China is similar to the Nissan Versa 1.6 in that there's no option for the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Nissan could put the 1.8-liter engine in the PRC Tiida and they'd go nuts over the performance. Here they would have to offer a bit more to the vehicle, maybe a transplant from the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, than paint and a sweet badge. Given the existence of the Sentra SE-R and move to make the Versa cheaper we're not holding our breath...

Well.... Personally I can see there is a market for the high performance edition of the V, but will Nissan import it will be a big concern due to that may kill it's SER and/or Spec V's sales.....

I hope Nissan will have a high performance version of that, if that comes, I can see that I will get a Versa right away

i think it would be great to market to the hatchback lovers out there... that way they would drift away from the mazda, fit, yaris, and the GTI... maybe nissan will drop a 2 door hatch...

GTI can be in 2dr or 4 dr. The major difference in between GTI & Rabbit is the engine + the suspension.Then seat, the lookin of the steering wheel......

I really want this heh

THIS is the exact reason why I am putting off dumping money into my V... I could trade it in for this and get it fully loaded like I originally wanted, instead of a base model with no cruise, no ABS, no sunroof, no nothing

I like the odds of this
