The biggest Micra engine on offer in the UK, the 1.6 is already made here, the 1.5/1.3's are likely to be made here too. Im not sure what platform its based off though. The Fiat 500 looks like a great car though! The problem is, the Fiat 500 probably wont hit China until 2010, and the Micra is expected to be launched towards the end of this year, or early next.

The 500 is brilliant. However, that's causing problems. The car only recently went on sale in the UK after a 6 month delay as the factory couldn't build the cars fast enough to meet demand. Wonder how long it will be before a 'copy' is made by a chinese manufacturer?? To be honest I think once the Chinese see the Fiat 500 the will buy it and forget the Micra. The 500 is brilliant.
