I wish they would come out with that here as well with pricing between the versa and sentra. I'll take one.

p.s. looks a little STIish

Unfortunately, this is a pipe dream!!

Sweet looking ride, though!!

but they did though

Nice try! I see what you are attempting here but unfortunately there are NO Nissan Versa vehicles running around in the US market that look like that! No 2.0 boosted motor, no front lip, different hood, no side sill extensions, no rear wing, different ride height/suspension, nice wheels versus ugly wheels and did I mention no Boost?

It's not even a crappy chassis re-badge, as the pictured AUS Pulsar is a NB17 and the Tiida/Versa is a C11/C12 chassis. Not to mention, the new AUS Pulsar will probabaly not look like that anyway, once Nissan takes off all of the cool parts and slaps some crap on it, just before it rolls off of the assembly line.

It's almost (but not quite) like saying that the older generations of the USDM Ford Focus are worthy of being compared to the award winning rally-inspired euro spec Focus. Over here, the Focus used to be considered a huge POS, while at the same time, it was considered a good vehicle over in Europe. It's just not the same! The North American market usually gets the left over parts-bin junk, in their cars.

It does go to show that accessories and wheels and trimming can make an ordinary car look pretty nice! That is why we have ricers!!!

Now, if Nissan can ship out to my local dealer, a car that matches the artist rendering of that new Pulsar, with a boosted 2.0 or an upgraded 1.6+ T......

That Pulsar Hatch looks cool. I have a feeling it'll come with the rear beam though.

That Pulsar looks a lot like the already available in the US Hyundai Elantra GT.
