Looks neat, they have never sold those in the US. The small car market over here isn't very interesting.

Well we're used it over here everything is Right Hand Drive.

They did sell them in other countries under the Opel Banner.
It was called an Opel Corsa SRi.

Yeah, that would be completely awkward.

Neat car though.

That would be odd...

Is the clutch still the left most pedal and is first gear top left?

The car isn't really right-hand drive. He just took the picture with his iSight camera.

Nice car. I had the opportunity to drive an Opel once. I was doing repairs on an Opel Van some Dutch guy imported from Europe. It was diesel powered, and a stick shift.
Fun to drive.
