I wasn't aware that the Versa was built in Mexico. That explains why Nissan can give them away!

Mexico's labor is far lower than Japan's of course. The Yaris costs much more to build (not just labor wise, but it is more expensively engineered). Which is why it is impossible to offer a $9,995 model like Nissan and Hyundai does.

So who cares if Versa beats Yaris sales, it's an uneven playing field. So many people look at one thing - bottom line pricing/biggest bang for the buck.
