japanese bB against 1st gen xB

Found the above image browsing on Japanese seat cover maker Y-Brand’s website and had to enjoy the English translation. But then I got thinking at how cool the Japanese spec bB (xB) is pictured on the right. To me, it seems like more of a big brother to the 1st gen xB than the US spec xB. It has the familiar box shape, but with a little face lift and updated grille/headlights. I have featured the new bB on this blog before talking a little bit about its history. If you had to choose between the Japenese spec bB and the new US spec xB, what would you go with?
