Being an American, I don't see too many right-hand drive cars and i have seen the Nissan Cube here in California on the road recently (Nissan finally imported them) but i noticed the difference in the right-hand drive models over the left-hand drive and it made me think of what Nissan had to do to get the Cube here in the States.
The "C" pillar on the passenger side of the Cube is missing, it was to eliminate the "blind-spot" for the driver. So in the right-hand drive Cubes like in GT4 the missing "C" pillar is on the left side of the car, whereas the USDM (USDM - U.S. Domestic Market) Cubes have the right side "C" pillar missing.
Nissan had to set up a separate assembly for the difference in the two bodies, not like most other cars just getting the steering wheel on the opposite side.
Makes you think...
