Datsun name revived: Datsun "Go" is a super cheap Micra
You think a $9998 Micra is cheap? Think again!
Nissan has revived the Datsun name with the launch of a super low-cost car, the Datsun Go.
The Go is based on the same platform as the Micra, with different body panels/styling, and stripped down for extreme cost-savings. (Wiki: Datsun Go)
But this car isn't coming to Canada: the Datsun brand is meant for emerging auto markets like Indonesia, Russia, India and South Africa. (Wiki: Datsun relaunch)
Check out this new Indian review of the Datsun Go to get a sense of how different it is from the Micra. It's fun to play "spot the de-contenting", especially in the interior photo gallery.
The strangest thing to my eye is the front pseudo-"bench seat" configuration with the gearshift sprouting from the dashboard, which conceivably makes the Go a 6-seater.
