ok guys i was driving to school today and i noticed that the car infront of me appeared to have no driver! then i realized that she was sitting on the other side and that the car was infact a RIGHT HAND DRIVE saturn. the car had absolutly no badges of any sort except for the back bumper that has saturn molded into it. Has anyone ever herd of a rhd saturn?

Japanese market Saturns and I'm pretty sure a few were kept in the states for mail carriers to use.

People can modify/order rhd versions of vehicles that are lhd for purposes such as mail/news paper delivery. Though it's rarely seen. I am assuming that's what the person bought or modifed the car for.

this is what model it was

it's what I thought...an s-series mail wagon...they built quite a few on those
at spring hill...you can usually find them in rural areas...

I've seen quite a few in different colors...

Yeah, they sold like 14 cars in Japan back in 1995, nobody bought the rest so they sold them to post offices in the US. *Note: I'm not sure how much of that sentence is true. GM did try to sell Saturns in Japan, it didn't go over well.

it was that exact color and i saw it in suburban st. louis and there was no way the owner was a mail carrier so she must have gotten it off of a used lot or something

I bet it went cheap, since I'm sure it is a huge pain in the ass. Unless the driver was a native of, or spent a lot of time in, one of those countries that drives on the wrong side of the road.

It's rare, but you can find one for sale around here.. after the post office is done with them, usually a pizza guy or someone simular would buy it.. Though I know I've seem one get riced out too..

Exactly. I see more than a few mail carriers driving RHD vehicles, various manufacturers and models. It definitely grabs your attention when you first notice it. One of my mail carriers drives an old RHD Chrysler K-car wagon.

I've seen a few old Subaru wagons, which really makes sense. They're already produced RHD, so there is no extra R&D costs, they already have cars coming over here, so shipping them was no biggie and they have AWD and a ton of room, both really helpful to mail carriers in crappy weather/road areas.
