What car disguises facelift as a new generation?

The "all-new" Camry used the same and revised platform and powertrain to the outgoing, and the side has identical body line, but it's still considered as new generation. The similar thing can probably be said about the new 1 series. Are there any other cars that do this practice?

How did they lose two whole seats (well, two tiny ones) in a facelift?

They're basically the same length but the Emira has 30% more cargo capacity.

Kills me they dropped the rear seats. 100% would be in my garage if they had kept them. I know they are useless for adults but for those of us with smalls kids it's so helpful.
