grogee, st220kyle,
Excellent question. Running joke in the USA is that a manual transmission is also known as the millennial anti-theft device as the overwhelming majority of cars on the road are automatics. Interestingly enough, our postal vans are RHD to accommodate the driver being able to pull up to the curb and drop off mail into a mailbox without ever exiting the vehicle, so... <insert fat American jokes here>
Having driven LHD and RHD in the UK, I will say this much: Being on the different side of the road throws you off way more than the seat you are sitting in. If anything, the RHD aspect of the value may add interest simply because a lot of us yanks will view it as more exotic. I can't speak for all of us, and only time will tell what kind of interest this thing drives if it survives the inevitable journey to the states, but I will be sure to share the stories, good and bad!
That's just my two cents though!
