2010 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL Hatchback
2010 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL Hatchback - Editors' Notebook Review - Automobile Magazine
It's striking how similar the Versa is to the Cube.

The bright blue hue and upright profile of this Versa reminded me of our Four Seasons Honda Fit Sport, but I'd argue that the similarities end there. Both cars run roughly $19,000 and include navigation, but the Versa has the little Honda outclassed. At this price point, Nissan adds other features like a sunroof, satellite radio, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and keyless entry/ignition.
