2009 Machine Versa: Generation Y, Take serious notice!

Automakers are clamoring to build and industry vehicles towards the Generation "Y" crowd which, loosely defined, and encompasses new drivers and largely everyone who is below 30. Toyota threw the gauntlet down in 2003 once they introduced a line of automobiles under the Scion brand. Now, Nissan is responding plus the Versa - to become released throughout the summer of 2006 - is their answer. Will the Versa compete successfully or be lost inside a sea of Gen "Y" automobiles soon to flood the marketplace? All of that's as well early to ascertain, so let's have a look at the Versa and what the vehicle has to give to motorists.

A pay a visit to to Nissan's website reveals considerably about the Versa. As opposed to a particular Scion automobile that takes its styling cues from a toaster, the Versa is aerodynamic and reminds me of the Toyota Matrix. Available as a 4 door sedan or 5 door hatchback, the Versa is expected to retail for about $12,000, the identical price tag range as Scion automobiles. Like Scion, the Versa will be pretty properly equipped to provide motorists a value packed encounter with no getting to add on several thousands a lot more for the base sticker value so as to attain a satisfactory and comfy driving experience.

Along with a 1.8L I4 engine, here is what you possibly can expect to become included with base models:

AM/FM/CD audio technique

Air Conditioning

Power side mirrors and automatic trunk release

six speed manual transmission [4 speed automatic is optional]

Split folding 60/40 seat with the hatchback

Not a bad standard gear list for the cost. For $2,000 significantly more, SL versions will come with aluminum alloy wheels, cruise manage, energy windows/doors/locks, remote keyless entry, a souped up sound technique, and much more.

The car will have a 102 inch wheel base that is extended for a automobile of its sort. The outcome is a great deal more interior room, with 4 adults possessing ample knee and leg area to weather lengthy trips.

Photos from the interior reveal a auto that is definitely well although out and not inexpensive looking. I particularly like the dashboard with its overlapping circular instrument panel and effortless to reach audio and air conditioning controls. A generation ago, entry level vehicles would have looked and felt affordable. Today's drivers expect much more along with the Versa delivers inside the type of a decent level of typical gear and attention to style.

The Versa replaces the Sentra because the entry level Nissan. Nissan has restyled the Sentra and "promoted" it up a notch a lot like Honda has completed using the Civic and Toyota with the Corolla.

While even more high-priced than Chevy's Aveo and Kia's Rio, the car has much more flair and style than either 1. Nonetheless, one particular has to wonder how the Versa will compete against Toyota's soon to become released Yaris and the all new Honda Fit. Throw in new models expected from Dodge and Ford and add Chinese cars to the mix and also the entire entry level market place becomes saturated.

Ultimately, the Versa is often a step in the suitable direction plus a nice option to some of its boxy competitors. Gen "Y" drivers have another option within the Versa and an option to Scion, Toyota's youth-oriented brand.
