this reminds me of a time when rich people were against a sbway station in their neighborhood because “it would degrade the area” and “bring undesired people” stuff.

As someone who needed a one-hour bus ride to the next subway, i agree with São Paulo (specially the eastern part of the city) being too car-focused

The difference is that Brazil have no 100% Brazilian car manufacturers anymore, and its buildup was done with little to none domestic manufacturer involvement

What if i said there was a time the Captiva was a status symbol (!!!) in some parts of the Brazilian society of the early-2010s?

and he put Alfa Romeo’s small car lineup which could make base to a Lancia revival

“197-horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. That’s a lot of ponies to feed through the front wheels”

“105hp”, a number as reliable as a Brazilian politician. Publications already put them to the dyno and achieved much higher numbers

9000 rpm 2-liter V8, fuck yeah

“Who leads lux? Benz leads lux “

This could be a sign of the crossover fever ending soon

At least the Type-R badge is safe (for now)

3-cylinder? Even Brazilians don’t get any 3-cylinder engine (only 4-pot 1.6 and 2-liter ones)

“Fiat should sell more cars than a few ancient 500 variants and a Mazda Miata”

“When it comes to preparing a wheel for a NASCAR pit stop, the goal is a lot like the reoccurring theme Goldilocks kept stumbling upon—the glue holding lug nuts on the wheel can’t be too brittle or too syrupy”.

Extremely sad. Just imagine how worst things may be in other sports (yeah, soccer, i’m looking for you) and how Brazilian culture may inhibit people from revealing things like this

French: here it is, 1360hp to the front wheels

At least in Brazil Ford’s service is ok. Now VW service is awful, but the worst is Peugeot/Citroen

The Alfasud would out-Golf the Golf if it had decent rust protection

“Please do not try to race him. He is faster than you.”

I still cannot believe Lazio choked on a free pass to the Europa League final (do you really think a team with the corpse of Mitroglou as a striker could win it all? hahahahaahaha)
