Default Amazing Race

On this leg of the Amazing Race in Belgium the teams have been driving everywhere in Fiestas. Some things I notice different about the European model besides the obvious are the antenna is mounted in a different place, the rear seat belts are attached to the D pillar, the seats are different, the rear headrests are different. All the cars on the show seem to have some kind of body kit installed as well.

I thought about watching but went with the flesh eating zombies instead.

I also noticed that not one had the Sync screen, and they had a "holy **** handle" on the drivers side

Yeah, I'd rather watch the zombies myself.

They also had rear clothes hangers, something mine doesn't have.

I thought about buying a television but decided to gouge out my eyes with a power drill instead.

yes there are several differences in the EUro vs North American Fiesta.
Ford Fiesta - State of the art small car technology - Ford UK
interesting... some photos on Ford UK show the steering wheel on the right hand side of the Fiesta but the video shows them driving a left hand steering model.

I noticed that too. There was a handle above the passengers side door too.

I PVR'd them both and watched later so I can fast forward through the commercials.
