So I got to thinking about how the focus is now a global car and no matter where you buy one, for the most part, it's the same car. some minor cosmetic differences, but all basically the same. Since this is the case, I am activly researching how I can order my RS with right hand drive.
I've gotten two answers from two dealerships. Both of which I am willing to do.
1. Dealer 1 said that I can just order one that way since it's all coming from one factory anyways. Just might take awhile.
2. Dealer 2 said That I would have to purchase the car from an overseas dealership in person, take physical delivery of it, and then have it shipped here on my own dime.
Why RHD? Being a person that likes to set himself apart from the crowd, why not start with a platform that is already different. You would be hard pressed to find another like it as most will be lhd here in the states.
my only concerns would be:
Depending on what country I got it from, I may not understand anything that Sync says and the GPS would be worthless to me here in the sates.
Also depending on the country I purchased it from, the gauge readouts might be in something other than miles/fahrenheit.
Your thoughts? Am I missing anything?
