The Mazda Axela, or as Europeans, Americans and others now it, the Mazda3, has been subtlety (we're talking about really subtlety…) updated for the Japanese market. Exterior design modifications include chrome door handles, a new roof spoiler, expanded use of black mouldings on the rear bumper and new alloy-wheel options.Inside, Mazda has enhanced the interior quality with the addition of piano black parts on the centre panel, power window switch bezels and other areas, and chrome parts for some levers and buttons, while reduced cabin noise and higher comfort levels have been achieved through the increased use of sound absorbent materials. -Continued after the jump
The Japanese carmaker also presented two new special edition versions of the Axela Sport, the 23HS and 20HS. Both come with extended sports equipment including 17-inch reflective aluminum wheels, aluminum pedals, a larger rear roof spoiler and a BOSE sound system. These models also come with black Alcantara and leather combination seat covers and Alcantara door trim.

Hold on chaps! You posted the old model, didn't you? Either that or I can strongly sense a scam...
Henri,notice the rear headlamps, they have LED's (the 2k4 model does not have them) :) !
Its not a facelift! Just an update. New colors, some new items and stuff
And the most important question remains unanswered: Will there be a Mazdaspeed variant or will that run out with the 2008.5 model?
Nice Chrome Handles. Wonder if they'll have it in the states. I don't mine they keep the exterior. The interior electronics has to get an update! The audio/navi electronics are getting old. And Dump that crappy "Bose." It's very bad sounding system.
When this facelift come to Europe?
I beleive this is the 2008.5 model for North America.
The Bose system isn't bad sounding if you add a proper subwoofer and amp to it. The bose seriously lacks low bass as is from the factory.
