Well toyota is #1 so bland sells. Nissan knows this. Nissan was shutting its doors in the late 90's. Practically bankrupt and closing shop before the deal with renault and making these now bland cars. I loved the 90's nissans. Flooded with rwd, sr20's, turbo's and awesome designs. None of which sold and made them money.
2012 Hatchback buying options changed
I noticed that the 2012 hatchback S model is now $14,380, and the SL is $18,390, thats $4,010 more for an SL!!! But I have noticed that when you buy an SL the sport package like the 2011 is standard, but now so is bluetooth, intelligent key, steering wheel controls, 16" alloys, etc. So everything that we would have to pay extra on the previous models is now standard on SL, and the only options is a navi system, and judging the navi system with the one that came with mine, id say don't spend the money. Buy yourself an aftermarket reciever that does navi, or use a garmin. The navi sucks, has a lag to it no matter what your doing, IPOD skips here and there, and does not do very good with high volume. So that's the $4000 reason. According to the website, I don't see an option for sunroof anymore. The S model is availible with the convience package, but so is a special edition for $770!!! Very cool. Nothing special but the alloys, but hey it's still cool to me. It's just $70 cheaper then the convience package, but it just depends on weather u want machined alloys or not. No pictures of the alloys yet, id love to see them. I wounder if they are the same color combo like my sentra SE alloys. Blue onyx is now another color option.
The SE comes with
■15" machined-finish aluminum-alloy wheels
■Special Edition badge
■Cruise control with steering-wheel-mounted controls
■Remote keyless entry
■Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System
■Premium AM/FM/CD audio system
■MP3/WMA CD playback capability
■Interface System for iPod® [1]
■Radio Data System (RDS)
■Speed-sensitive volume control
■Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls
■Leather-wrapped steering wheel
■Overhead sunglasses storage and front map lights
■Tricot woven headliner and visors
■Cargo area cover

I agree with that 100%, why can't some people accept the fact that fun cars are better for their money than bland/good selling vehicles?I loved the 90's nissans. Flooded with rwd, sr20's, turbo's and awesome designs. None of which sold and made them money.
The hatch was available in navy blue before. When I bought mine in 08, that colour was available.The blue onyx was availible on the sedan for 07-11, but now it's for the hatch. I believe the sedan still has the onyx, but it also has the metallic blue now as well for 2012. The onyx is a navy/dark blue .
Ah, didn't know that. Doesn't make sence though...why would they redesign the sedan and not the hatch? Doesn't the hatch sell more than the sedan?OP means the US 2012 nissan versa hatchback. It is coming out in the US as a 2012 model but it looks exactly like all of your hatchbacks. It's not getting restyled until next year.
It should be the other way around.
That's Nissan's way of trying to make the sedan sell more I guess
need modern rwd 240/silvia replacement car. FT86 anyone? if it is DI, gimme!
I think the hatch sells so well they figure they can get away with one more year of the old car.Ah, didn't know that. Doesn't make sence though...why would they redesign the sedan and not the hatch? Doesn't the hatch sell more than the sedan?

wow.. This makes me not want to consider a new Versa. I don't want intelligent key on my car.
Well the S model doesnt have it, only SL.wow.. This makes me not want to consider a new Versa. I don't want intelligent key on my car.
To each his own. I like Blue onyx. I like my tan interior. The chrome trim is accentuated by the dark blue color. The best color I think is white. But Everyone has there opinions, that's how the world keeps spinning.:blue flower:Yes it's a navy blue metallic I believe. I didn't know they stopped making versa's in this color. I see them all the time. I'm not a fan.
I picked up the 2012 booklet from the dealer over the weekend.
For the hatchback a 1.8S Owner can now get the "Moonroof Package" which includes power sliding glass moonroof w/ tilt feature & dual illuminated visor mirrors (the 1.8S Value Option Package is required).
The 1.8SL Navigation Package is not available with the 1.8SL Sport Package.
Also it lists the 6speed manual transmission as standard on the 1.8S & 1.8SL with an optional 4 speed auto for the 1.8S and CVT for the 1.8SL.

Awesome for the sunroof package and manual on SL. 
It must be a Canada thing, cause we can't get those options configured like that,
