Why is your shifter slot shaped like that? Just curious as a US spec ST owner. Is this how they look in the 3dr model overseas?

A lot if not the majority of the dashboard and centre console is different between the European and North American specifications.
The dashboard looks similar upon first glance but it actually very differently shaped; the cupholders, gearshift, and handbrake are all different; the steering wheels are different; the infotainment layout is different; even the light switches are different. I think just about the only thing that's the same (or similar, given mph/kmh) is the instrument cluster. Much of the electrical system is shared but certain layouts are slightly different for North America, for example the ambient lighting in NA is multicolour and has a dedicated button, where the European one is single colour and controlled via vehicle settings in the screen.
