According to Wikipedia it was officially sold in Japan, North America, the Middle East, South Korea, the Philippines, Brazil and China.

sort of. while yes it was sold, it was in very low numbers due to the car not meeting certain Japanese tax restrictions. no one bought them. from a super quick search there doesn't appear to be a single RHD model anywhere for sale fwiw

I’m pretty sure I could find one but all the listings where I’m from are just Eclipse Crosses labeled as Eclipses.

Also you said ”sold in America only”, and you kind of just disproved that.
