Jacksan one of the US car mag's wrote that the Versa as well as the US Sentra are based off a Renault platform, but you keep saying that the Versa is not. But how the US versa rides much more European then Japanses I have to wonder if its not based on a European platform.

From today's New York Times:
6. NISSAN VERSA ($17,205) Based on the Renault Mégane, this is the closest thing to a French car you’ll find at an American dealership, and it’s worth a toast of Veuve Clicquot. A half-size larger than rivals like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris, the Versa is roomier than you’d expect. It also handles better than your basic econobox and has scored well in crash tests. For a lot of small families, it may be all the car they need.

I see there is still confusion about the Versa's platform. I have read so many different things in creditable magazines that I really don't care anymore. Some say it is a B ,some say a longer version of the B. I have read that it shares its platform with the Clio and then I have read it is shared with the Megane. The clio is probably more correct because of the size. The Megane is Jetta sized. One would have to find out what the wheelbase of the two Renault cars are and match it to the Versa. They really do not look a lot alike. There are some things like the new clio headlights that are similar. You can see this was not just a badge engineering job. Just so some of you can see the Renault cars. Here is the older Clio sedan

ethan8: I'm 99.9% sure Nissan considers this their "B" platform based on the cars cars that identified. I think the alpha code is just to equate to its size and its intended market. The Sentra is built off of Nissan's "C" platform (Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3) and the Altima "D" (Accord, Camry, Malibu). Obviously when then are talking sharing platforms, normally only the main underpinnings are shared. Much is changed to adapt to each market and how the vehicle will fit within the manufacturer lineup and against the competition.
