Looks like torque has some math issues 41% vs 59% is 1.5:1 not "nearly half".When we asked Nissan for the breakdown of Versa sales, we were surprised to find out that the all-new Versa Note makes up nearly half of those sales figures despite this being its first year on the market.
The Nissan Versa is the best-selling subcompact car in the United States. It outsells most competitors several times over. It's combination of value, economy, and versatility makes it the subject of top picks on "best of" lists throughout the automotive press. When fellow Torque News journalist John Goreham asked me how Versa sales break down, I went to Nissan to find out and was amazed at what was learned.
Nissan told me that the breakdown for the year-to-date sales (January 1 to July 31, 2014) for the Versa line is about 64,700 units. About 59 percent of those are Versa Sedan models and about 41 percent of them are Notes; breaking down to about 26,600 Notes and 38,100 Sedans. We are rounding the numbers a bit for simplicity here.
Given that G4 will have more space than subcompact sedans like Fiesta, iA, etc, better MPG and price, do you think it would outsell hatch by 50%?
