I was talking to a mate about countries that got Coupes and it made me wonder just how many RHD markets were there for the Coupe?

UK, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore? Ireland? Anyone know for sure?

Strange that, as they drive on the left. I'd have thought it would have allowed FIAT to get more return for the RHD production line to treat Japan as a RHD market.

The Japanese think that European sports cars should all be left hand drive, so they buy them like that.

It gotta have something to do with their kamikaze heritage. Makes overtaking a lot more exciting! wobble
