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.

Later,
David Drew.
