Good thinking Mr. Roth. Maybe 30 years late, but better late than never. Mercedes and Lexus have been doing it and they are highly regarded globally.

I have yet to see any Jeep model in Japan with LHD. On the other hand, every American muscle car I've seen was LHD.

Look at that, America finally gave up their "if you don't like it, don't buy it, we ain't changing a thing" mentality.
