I'm new to the Jazz scene, and am just wondering what year and model the Jazz in the link below is?

A GD3 Fit, with mods. Interesting colour.

How can you tell its a GD3 and not a GD2 or GD1?

Where was the picture taken?

    GD1: 1.3 L L13A i-DSI Inline-four engine 2WD (Europe: 1.4L)
    GD2: 1.3 L L13A i-DSI Inline-four engine 4WD (Japan only)
    GD3: 1.5 L L15A VTEC Inline-four engine 2WD
    GD4: 1.5 L L15A VTEC Inline-four engine 4WD (Japan only)

Exactly. Looks like the car is outside a fast food drive through, so could be anywhere, including USA.

I wouldn't fancy the body mouldings chances if it had to drive over a speed bump. A case of style at any price!

the photographer has posted loads of photos of Jazz and other things,  defo from USA by the other cars photographed

Some of the body mouldings on other cars photographer has taken are  literally mm's from road,  so doubt they would survive speed bumps (unless they have pump-up suspension) - see quote below about speed bumps and their effectiveness,  around where I live council has put down large quantities of speed bumps on some roads and a month or so later they have all been ripped up - such a waste of taxpayers money in these hard times.

Here is a quote directly from a comprehensive study on the matter (Traffic Calming: State of the Practice) by the Federal Highway Administration:

"Traffic calming in the U.S. is largely restricted to low volume residential streets. Collisions occur infrequently on such streets to begin with, and any systematic change in collision rates tends to get lost in the random variation from year to year. This limits our confidence in drawing inferences about safety impacts of traffic calming."
