Now if only GM would import some to the US. Right now you can only get them
greymarket and they're righthand drive.

I'm pretty sure that GM are exporting some to the US, for use by police
departments. Supposedly, wide-bodied, big-engined rear-wheel-drive sedans
aren't built in the states any more, only front wheel drives. Police like
the rear-wheel drive.

Left-hand drive models are also available. They're exported to Saudi Arabia,
where they sell really well. They're sold under one of GM's sub-brands,
Pontiac or some such.

You should be able to get one exported from Saudi with little problem.
