SEAT Leon - Am I paranoid ?

The above is the latest TV spot for the new SEAT Leon .

Like most car adverts, it is by turns both patronising and nauseating, the buyer asks questions and the salesmen responds with a series of gestures and motoring noises.

The one thing the buyer doesn't ask is "Why is the steering wheel on THE WRONG FUCKING SIDE?"

Now this is a British advert, shot for the British market with British actors. Not one of those badly dubbed glitzy Global/Euro adverts where they flip the film to make it appear to be RH drive or just ignore it all together.

Now I know the car industry is in big trouble, but are you telling me they are waiting to see how many orders they get from the UK, before they start building RH drive models.

Or being as it's a Euro company are they just readying us for the day after they've forced the Euro currency on us, when the EC demands we swap to driving on the right in the interest of European harmony.

I'll get my tinfoil hat.
