I do not remember the name, but on our last visit to Brazil I took a picture of a small Chev pick-up truck—and wondered why this sleek good looking unit was not sold in the north–safety or polution crap? it is also the only country I have been to outside of Canada where the Ferarri’s are beat to crap from the poor roads in the major cities

Thank you very much for the link Titus! Will write a post today about Brazilian sales figures at mid-March…

A mi entristece … una “caja” que poneram el nombre carro.
Vaya, me alegro por el FIAT Uno.
