[War_Wagon]

The Versa sells great in Canada. The wagon version, that is. I ship them south a lot, they hold their value well here, but add in the 25% exchange rate and if you are smart, you can buy a used one up here right and get it into the States for a decent savings. I see a lot of cars every week, and I have seen maybe 3 Versa sedans here. Those things were saleproof. Just like the Suzuki SX4 sedan. "Let's make a really cool little 4x4 wagon! And then we'll offer it in a sedan, and 2wd only..." No wonder they went under! Nissan made a good move for this market by offering the Micra to replace it.

And Canadian market cars all have block heaters as factory equipment. I think my 2000 Firefly was the newest car I owned that didn't come with one. I don't know when that rule came into effect, but any new car sold here has a block heater, or at least the ability to easily attach one, and they probably come with it in a bag in the trunk. Like all of our cars have daytime running lights since '90, yet airbags weren't mandatory until '96 I believe. Weird. We have odd rules here, like all cars come with rear window defrosters, since about the '80s. Once in a while I'll be at a car show and see an '80s or '90s car with no defroster lines in the back window and instantly know it came from the USA haha.
