Manufacturers do the whole center gauge pod thing to save the expense of having to use different dash designs for LHD and RHD markets…just need to move the steering column. I don’t know what Saturn’s excuse was unless they had a whole bunch of bumper car steering wheels left over. ---

my dad’s echo has the center cluster. it works just fine. ive driven his car many times, my only qualm with it is that its too wobbly. it sits high. it needs to be like -3 or 3.5 inches from where it is now. the yaris cars and some of the newer scions are basically descendants of the echo model. my dad’s car is SO JDM. everything has a 100% japan parts sticker on it. its actually one of the first models to ever hit the US shores. its number 800 something, like 872 or some shit. basically in the first thousand cars they shipped here. ---
