Well in Europe at least!
India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, Angola, Kenya, Tanzania are all RHD countries.
I too wonder why SierraGS worries so much about the existence of separate Opel and Vauxhall brands. It's for all intents and purposes one brand, just with those going to the UK wearing Vauxhall badges.
In theory, you could brand your products by dozens of different names at only a nominal cost. Vauxhall and Holden are entrenched names in their respective markets, and getting rid of them could potentially be disastrous for GM. Selling Opels as Vauxhalls in the UK costs GM nothing more than the cost of the "Vauxhall" emblem, and maybe office letterhead, and helps keep market share up through use of an established brand name.
BTW, Opels are Opels in Ireland, not Vauxhalls!
