That interior looks a lot richer. I'm liking the new rear end too.

If you count out the bonnet, grill, front and rear bumper, nicer interior, they are basically the same car.

i am looking at MT pics, and it looks like small facelift in terms of differences... It looks fine, it never looked bad to me, but i guess with small changes they managed to make best out of the car. Interior is exactly the same looking, but with chrome, different colors and materials. Kind of what we expected I guess.

It's really pricey to retool, so minor changes were expected. Beside, the new one is much more stand-out despite the fact that there are only a few changes.

yeah, at this equipment level and top spec you are thinking if you are going to buy base 318d or this :-)

It *is* the same car. Honda just did an abnormally early mid-cycle refresh because of poor reviews.
