SubcompactCulture.com has picked up on this thread:

Is the Nissan Micra Coming to the U.S. After All?

And they raise a few more interesting points:

  • Nissan does not have an A-segment car to compete against the Fiat 500, Smart ForTwo, Scion iQ, or Chevrolet Spark.
  • The Nissan Cube is likely going away for 2015, which could allow for another small car entry into the lineup.
