I don't get what's "rare" about this being RHD? Sure I remember them being RHD when I was a kid (one of our neighbours had one).

Also features in an episode of "Bilko" too.

My Dad had 3 or 4 RHD ones when we were growing up.He also had one French registered LHD version with split-rim wheels,but that never saw the road 🙁

Time for some Americans!  It’s a sure sign of their unpopularity that I struggled to find many reviews about them.

First up, this chinny wonder is a Chrysler Sebring

Although it looks alright from the side

What reviews I can find seem to go on about cheap feeling plastics inside.  I know it’s supposed to give some fantastic insight into the overall quality of a vehicle but who goes stroking their dashboard with a portable durometer to assess the shore hardness of the plastic?

Next up is this Dodge Avenger.  I’m not sure what’s wrong with it but the seller has helpfully started pulling it apart.

This must be the most popular of the three because I remember seeing one on the road and there a few on eBay, the Dodge Caliber.  Wasn’t that the low alcohol beer in the ‘80s?

Not so much a hatchback as a hunchback

At least the Yanks had a go at RHD, even if they were a bit stung by the experience. Even Cadillac gave up.

Thing is, outfits like Clive Sutton will do conversions of the current production to RHD if you're that desperate to have a Yank.
