Nissan is also bringing a smaller car to the US....not sure if it will be based on the $5999 car destined for India.
I'll say this though: we could see rapid growth in small car sales in the USA over the next 5-7 years, especially given the strong sales of the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris, plus strong interest in the Smart ForTwo. Why do you think Ford will sell the next-generation Fiesta in the USA, and GM will build the next-generation Opel/Vauxhall Corsa as a Saturn model about 18-24 months from now? VW will likely sell something based on the Up! platform to take advantage of this trend, and Toyota is readying the new-generation Aygo specifically for USA sales to compete against the ForTwo.
