I think they did make at least one concession to the European market, that being clearance between the hood and the hard parts beneath (required for mitigating the amount of injury inflicted on the pedestrian you just hit), which unfortunately puts the hood height slightly higher than otherwise necessary. In turn, the seat height and roofline are likely fractionally higher, something you might notice only subliminally. Perhaps there was also an impact on engine and engine compartment cooling, which would affect the design of the grille a little.
