Of course, that ultra-low asking price isn't for a fully loaded model. The Micra will arrive in the Great White North in three trims - S, SV and SR - with the buyer's choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. A 109-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder is the sole engine choice. There will also be a number of accessory options that should allow some personalization for the small cars, with Nissan claiming that things like door handle finishers and mirror caps will be available in five different colors (plus chrome) for under $200.

"At Nissan, we understand the need in Canada for small, urban-friendly cars that are fun to drive and express their driver's personality. With Micra, we're delivering a proven global vehicle at a very attractive price – it's going to make a huge impact on the market," said Christian Meunier, the President of Nissan Canada.

Take a look below for the press blast from Nissan's Canadian outfit, and US readers, don't hold your breath for this one – there are no plans to bring the Micra to America."

Wouldn't mind driving one if it means spending as little money as possible...

But that opinion is bound to change once I drive it. None of these little econoboxes are made for long-distance highway cruising.
