    2015 Nissan Micra on sale date / launch / dealer availability: April 2014

    UPDATE, April 14th -- the car will be arriving at dealers this week (news from a Quebec dealership). See post #43

    Update, April 30th -- cars have been arriving at Ontario dealerships as well.
    ---

    The official word on when the 2015 Micra will be availble for sale isn't very specific. So far, Nissan is only saying:

    ...it goes on sale this spring...
    But if you read the tea leaves in Nissan's press release, they distinguish between "this spring" for the Micra and "later this spring" for the Juke Nismo (source).

    This seems to imply an earlier-than-later timeframe. This is supported by an Autoblog Canada article, which says that the Micra presentation at the Toronto Auto Show...

    ...hinted at a very quick on-sale date (source)
    So, I called my local dealer... but they were none the wiser:

    We don't know. It could be sometime soon, up to the end of the year.
    However, a call to Ontario's #1 volume Nissan dealer got me a very definitive response:

    "APRIL."

    "Really? That soon?"

    "Yes, April."
    So there you go -- some very specific speculation. (If you're willing to believe a friendly, un-named person who spoke to me on the phone from Mississauga... who seemed super stoked that I had called to ask about the Micra, I should add.)

    Update: found another April reference:

    The 2015 Nissan Micra will arrive at Canadian dealers this April (source)
    And another:

    Nissan hopes the Micra will spark entry-segment sales in Canada when it goes on sale in April (source)
    And another:

    The 2015 Nissan Micra will hit the market in a few weeks... (source)

    Another:
    It’s scheduled to be fully released this summer. (source)

    It seems plausible, doesn't it?

    It's fun trying to figure out what they're up to...

    That is great, only about a month or two away.

    Well, most new cars require time to get new tooling and get production ramped up. Since it is already sold elsewhere in large quantities, the date seems reasonable.

    It'll be fun to see a shoot out vs the Metro? I'm not sure what the analogue of the new Micra is.

    April seems a little early for a 2015, june or july seems more plausible, but hey who knows! Where there is a will there is a way!
