Sorry.
Next we'll have to watch for spy pics of the de-concepted production version. You're safe until then!

Lucky for us, theophiluschin has "de-concepted" it to give us a more realistic look. Compare to:
Looks like he changed:
-- front fascia / bumper area
-- headlights
-- wheels
-- colour accents
-- mirrors
And I can't tell for sure, but he may also have toned down the size of the "eyebrow" bodywork under the A pillar.
Anything else??

Nicely done indeed! But the new Micra will still look less radical IMHO. The current Micra is available in 160 countries. So if the new Micra is also going to be a world car, the design will be accordingly.
That said, I won't mind if the car will look like that!
ehhh theo can be a mixed bag with his designs. he seems to lack imagination, it's mostly palette swaps and semi-identical copy paste of existing designs (like that new headlights he put there)
still, c+ for effort.
It's a rather rad design. I like it but it is not odd enough. The Micra is a bit odd looking. Almost begging for some upgrades like wheels, and other sport items that make the Micra Cup look cool. The Sway doesn't give that odd look some econo cars need. Just look at the new face on the Yaris, a little too much corporate design elements makes it look front heavy, then it doesn't pan out equally in the back.
Also, I won't buy it if the Sway name makes it to market. I just need more legroom, telescopic steering and standard heated seats. And a turbo 1.2L engine.

The Golf is the ugliest car on the market... so if people there are buying such ugly car, why even bother to make them beautiful?
I really wonder how much of the concept car is going to be in the new Micra but I hope it does not change too drastically just yet...or our cars are going to look obsolete very quickly.

Looking ahead . . . A new Micra is expected in the not-too-distant future as is the next Juke.
I would not expect it here till 2018 or later.
