Report: Nissan cancelling the Versa Note this year
Attachment 5150
Another small car bites the dust?
A report from CarsDirect says an order guide for the 2019 Versa Note indicates the car will cease being available this year.

the automaker's 2019 order guide indicates model production will end this April. This is typically the sign that a model has been discontinued.
Sales have been falling in both Canada and the U.S.
U.S. stats:

the company says it sold a total of 75,809 of both [Versa sedan and Versa Note hatchback] in 2018, a 29% decline from the same period in 2017. For comparison, there were well over 42,000 sales of the Rogue and Rogue Sport just in December of last year.
They say the Versa sedan will remain available for "another model year or two".

Yeah, they announced Note e-power was coming to the U.S. last year. Change of plans, I guess.
