[net.auto] "Wrong side" drive

sms@eisx.UUCP (Samuel Saal) (12/14/84)

Alien thinks that Japan makes special versions of their cars
to sell with right hand drive for England and Bermuda. As it 
happens, Japan *itself* uses right hand drive. They make left
hand drive cars special for the US market. Alien is correct
that the economic realities of USeless regulations must be
taken into account or they simply won't do it. Based on the
current sales of Japanese autos in the land of the rising buck
(even with the import quotas), it is obvious that it is
worthwhile to make the changes especially for us.
