NZ has cheap cars because we get all the five year old cars from Japan
And India has so many cars that is why the blues still have 45%

Why didn't they swap the pedals too? so accelerate with the left foot.

Driving right hand drive, steering with the right hand, keeping left, all just seems so natural I can't even imagine left hand drive. There are a few classic American cars around here but they are hard to drive because it's almost impossible to overtake safely from the passenger side.

I've never seen left hand drive in the flesh, having only been to England and Australia outside of NZ.

Saw this car round the corner a few weeks ago - that would be worth huge $ despite being backwards!

I've driven in left-drive countries and even after "getting used to it", it still made no sense. I start with the assumption that most people are right-handed (the why is not important), so you want the dominant hand to do the precision stuff, ie steering, and the minor had does the clunky stuff, ie changing gears, or having a drink! In left-hand-drive cars the dominant hand is doing the minor stuff.
Sure, we can be trained -we are good monkeys - like training the foot to brake gently. lol.

Exactly - skill saws are the same - most of them built for left handed use - I got one with the blade on the left side and it is much easier to use, but they are pretty rare.

Shame on Germany.

Considered one of the single worst cars ever created, the Hoffmann was a post-WWII attempt at a cheap micro-car...

Hodge Hawk three-wheeler car from New Zealand

I like how it looks. Much more beetle-like than those which followed - The NZ Hodge Hawk model is the modern successor?

I am not very interested in cars, though - D

The Hawk was built as a prototype in 2007 but never manufactured - looked cool though.

German = cars!

My sister in law has a Mercedes and it's awesome - sitting in a heated armchair but riding in an almost silent, silky smooth tank!
