So the 2013 or 2012.5 Versa Hatch is gonna be the sweet looking 2 door hot-hatch concept that the versa was originally based on, right?!

I hope the all new hatchback looks better than the all new sedan when it finally debuts. The Versa sedan looks like the previous generation corolla up front and an Elantra from 2 generations ago from the back crossed with one of the ill fated american daewoos (can't remeber the names,) and the interior looks much cheaper in the pics than the original Versas interior, like its center stack comes from an Echo which is a shame since the interior was clearly its best feature, especially the huge legroom in the back.
