Thank you Rudy, for being considerate enough to consider the possible country variations.
But no.. the standard floor mats are the same ones as the ones that are made in the US
Oh well.. so much for a silly thought..

All I know is that I've seen some photos on this site of cars outside the US that have mats that are much different than the ones I have...
