- Import one of these from Brazil (it´s now more than 40 y/o);

It must be built over Focus platform, and look something like this:

“The president allegedly asked, “But is there any way we could do it by the end of my first term?”.

CP, even if the owner offers to pay me $9,500...

My brother had one, a “luxury” 4-door Turbo version called “Stille” (Brazillian only, if I remember). Acceleration was great (very!), but just after an enormous turbo lag. Reliability is... Italian, to say the best. Electrical was a nightmare, and the structure was so weak weld spots just broke, and from time to time

So Bertone can do a thing really ugly... I´d imagined this, but not in this ‘scale’. BTW, crack pipe even at half this price, maybe at a quarter.

“Since EcoSport has a lower roof than larger SUVs, a top-hinged tailgate would impede head room when loading/unloading cargo, so the swing gate was the solution. It also creates more access the roof even with the swing gate open, so you can load/unload cargo into the back and onto the roof at the same time.”

This “piece of crap” was also made in Brazil, by Willys Overland (really!). And it was known for breaking up without hitting...

Maybe it´s trying to replicate performance from their older relative...

Now playing

There´s a newer and much expensive car doing worst than it: the 2017 Renault Kwid (Indian Version)

CP. No FIAT worth 10 grand, even a brand new one.

“... and your popularity is buried in that grave on left”.

From a brazilian website: “Considerando que o 1.5 Dragon apresentado para o EcoSport gera 137 cv e 16,2 kgfm de torque...” These are the numbers for 1.5 Dragon naturally aspirated, as mounted in brazilian version of Ecosport (but burning ethanol - with gasoline the numbers are 130 cv and 15.6 kgfm). 

In some cases, these are the worst plague...

13k is not 20k...

You will NOT save $20K because a really good one, in Brazil, costs between US$ 20K and US$ 30K.

Looks like Brazil, just driving:

Good candidate to a place in local cemetery...

What happened with this “project”? The mouse wins?
