The American one looks like a 4 door Civic from the back. They really didn't change it much though.

I was scrolling through the European pictures and was like "that's funny, that looks like a Volvo." Apparently it actually was. :)

i hate the new interior, its been americanised..

worse yet, its got the mondeo headlights..

Atleast they kept the body of the sedan, i like that body style, has a european flair to it.

Something has to be done for that god ugly dash. I prefer the one on my car (execpt maybe that I would have preferred the cigerrate lighter socket be flush and not resessed.

It's not so much fugly as it is just so.......generic.

90% of domestic cars have absolutely no personality whatsoever. They're just boring.

I guess the backside looks better, but I agree that it looks like a Civic...and YUM, Mazda 3. :D

And in other automotive news, I saw a wrapped-up 300C on my way home just now :)

Gotta go where the demand is. I think I saw more Ford Focuses (Foci?) and Ford Kas in Rome than I did Fiats.

The Volvo doesn't look better, the 3s is where it's at. This is my current background:

European Spec Mazda 3s
