Nissan Note #1

From Nissan Europe press release

The new Nissan NOTE is a roomy five-door hatchback that combines innovative styling and practicality with a strong sporting flavour. It is aimed at parents who have a need for a car to match their busy lives, but who don’t want to stop having fun behind the wheel.

The NOTE has a dynamic stance and distinctive styling cues, which will appeal to buyers who have always considered design as an important priority when they’re shopping for a car. But good style and fun to drive does not mean that the NOTE cannot meet the needs of busy families with a limited budget.

Inside, there is a vast amount of space thanks to the wheelbase of 2600mm – longer than that of a VW Golf – and the space can be maximised thanks to folding rear seats, as well as a sliding rear bench.

There will be four engine options: two 1.5 dCi diesels developing 50kW and 63kW (68 and 86PS) respectively, a 1.4-litre 65kW (88PS) petrol unit and a new 1.6-litre 81kW (110PS) petrol engine found in the new Micra 160SR and C+C.

Customer deliveries will begin in spring 2006.

Looks OK IMO.
The backlights travel to the roof... :|
The front reminds me of the Murano...Is that Nissans new design style thing?
Like Subarus (UGLY) plane design?

Is Nissan going Renault style? I know they used Renault 3.5L engines but I didn;t know they're borrowing the style too.

Very much like the Mazda 3. What size engines?

Renault own Nissan, and share many of their platforms. I wouldn't be surprised if their was some cross breeding when it comes down to styling as well. I know it's common practice at all VW brands to recieve input on projects from other VW owned brands design studios. The same thing must happen at Renault. Using proposals of the same designers to develop the styling of cars of both Nissan and Renault inevitably results in some visual similarities creeping through.

Yay a smart new member. Welcome warmly.

The style is nothing like Renault's style and the 3.5 is a Nissan engine.
