The GFC and European down turn caused a delay in RHD models. Europe is the only location to build RHD.

It surprises me we don’t get it from Asia. It would be lower build costs & closer to freight. Ford should have a plant in this region building this platform in RHD (Hello, broadmeadows!!)?? Is it a costly thing to get the Asia plant to build RHD as well? It would make pricing far more competitive than importing from Europe?
