Nissan Note makes big splash at global debut

The Note, along with its new "Squash Line," is an important car for Nissan, demonstrated by the big show the company put on for the little B-segment hatchback. Having done well with the Note so far since its introduction as a 2006 model, the revamped global five-door has taken the lead in providing design cues for other models, like our Versa hatchback.

Nissan has said the Versa will get "features tailored to its markets in North and South America." We don't know how that means it will differ from the Note, but we hope the Versa's launch comes with water cannon projections, too. You can watch it all in the video past the jump.
