Hey that's really cool! A right hand drive Vibe/Voltz!I like the Skyline they had for only $2000. That is even tempting. Any idea on how much it is to have it shipped overseas?

Pretty ironic. Aren't the Voltz made in the USA right beside the Vibes?So export a car, then pay more money to import it just to have a mirror image of a Vibe. If I was desperate for a Voltz I think I'd go to the factory and try to haggle them out of one directly. Save the export and import middle guys.KSneptune

Interesting that the 2WD automatic is $2200 cheaper than the 2WD manual, must be the GT and they don't list the base manual.On the Voltz they use that third "dummy" button for the rear defroster or flashers, since the center piece doesn't have room for it up top like on a Vibe. It would be neat to get one of those modules, if it would fit a Vibe, to use that button for something like DRL disable.

The three vertical buttons go down the right side, and the radio is offset to the left, because of the whole right-hand drive thing...
