As a Mazda 323 F owner, this is something that has puzzled me for a while. Where I live (Belgium), the 1994-98 323 range was just called "323", except for the 323 F, which was based on a different platform.

But, sometime around 2013, I noticed several Wikipedia articles starting to mention european versions as called 323 C, S and P. I'd never heard of those designations before, and they weren't used in either Belgium or France. Does anyone know in which country/countries were they actually called like that ? And maybe have have some reference (brochures, press pics) to prove it ? Because on the Wiki articles, the photo links for the "C" and "P" show cars without any "C" or "P" badges. So there's no actual proof.

I have the suspiscion that those "european" names were specific to a country, and because those Mazdas don't have the same following as, say, the Impreza, anyone could write anything about them on Wikipedia and no one would bother to check the veracity.
