The Cube, March/Micra, and Tiida/Tiida Latio/Tiida Wingroad are different from my idea. The Cube is an outrageously cute new car in Japan that reminds me of Ford's Synus Concept thast should be marketed on its own, not as the next Sentra. The March/Micra is a supermini that is a replacement for the last-gen one and the March/Micra looks awesome, would prove to be a powerful Vibe/Matrix fighter. The Tiida is actually three vehicles. The oldest of the three is the Tiida Wingroad (known in other places as the Pulsar Wagon), which is just a facelifted version of an older model that is not on the Tiida platform which'll probably be replaced with a Tiida-based model. The Tiida Latio is a sedan based off the Tiida proper, but JDM Nissan markets it separately. The Tiida is a new model (based on the same platform as the Mégane, BTW) that is a three-door or five-door hatchback that is SO cool it doesn't matter if it's marketed as a Nissan, a Samsung, or an Infiniti. However, I have a feeling that the next Sentra is either the Plantina or a version of the Dacia/Renault Logan.
The Teana is actually a different vehicle from the (US) Maxima alltogether, though in the Middle East and in a few other places it is marketed as a Maxima. Just look at the model codes. The Teana has a different model code than the US Maxima, even though they use the same engines.
