Here's a link to the next incarnation of the Nissan Versa (known as the Tiida/Latio out East). http://paultan.org/2011/04/19/bigge...bo-performance-variant-has-190-hp-and-240-nm/
Yes it does, and it looks much better also (I hate that stupid blue color the Leaf uses).. but the Leaf is still a bit wider and longer, but same wheelbase of 2700mm.. and I bet the new Versa wont have the aluminum doors and hood either. The chassis floor is substantially different to make room for the battery, plus it does not have to support an ICE and transmission. Hopefully the under $10k price wont disappear with the new Versa.
