But who knows if they ever developed the V6 versions for RHD. Probably not.
Europe screws us here because we share models with them and they prefer mostly diesel. We do too but we have segments of buyers who only want petrol, which they don't.

Just thinking that before, a few decades ago European style, driving dynamics, performance... etc was what mainstream Australian car buyers wanted...American products were considered inferior.
And now here in Oz dual cab utes and SUV's rule. Add the fact American passenger cars are not the "yank tanks" of old as their biggest selling models are Accords and Camry's and add the enormous sales of large pick-ups..and we are more closely aligned with US buyers in driving tastes then ever before....if we had US priced fuel and drove on the RHS we would have very similar buyer demographics right now.
