The frustrating thing is there apparently a RHD diesel Rubi available in Greece.

So its not a matter of will Jeep buid it - rather - why won't the bring it to Aus?

The engine is ADR certified, the body is certified so whats the logic - apart form the obvious "Jeep don't understand their own market".....

i think it would be a huge seller in aus. and would probably buy one.
i have a Tj for 4x4, and a land cruiser for daily duties, touring, snow trips.
a JK rubicon in the diesel would be a great option for a smaller rig, with better fuel economy to replace the cruisers daily duties. (which although very reliable, drinks the fuel), plus with the lockers, and transfer case, i would be able to take it on light 4x4 trips without much modifcation.

Why on earth would RHD cars be sold in Greece of all places? They drive on the right like all other European countries.

(PS if its true then its a huge insult to Chyslers Australian customers)
