Nissan March debuted at the 1981 Tokyo Motor Show with the rather inauspicious name of NX.018. The car was a salvo into the hotly-contested compact hatchback segment against the Honda City and Subaru Justy. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Nissan opened up the naming of the car to the public, and for some reason, the public chose to call it the March.
