Ok, contrary to my other commentary, this certainly isn’t a Last Edition, but a reproduction, per the original ad. However there’s still something weird happening here:

There’s still something weirder: The only Kombis with watercooled engines were post-2006, when they’ve got the VW Fox 1.4l flexifuel engine, due to emissions, and a short-lived diesel version between ‘81 and ‘86. In 1993 all VW Kombis were watercooled.

Hey, it’s not a 1993, it’s a 2014 model!!! This is one of the 1,200 made for the final run, hence the name “Last Edition”, the “56 anos” sticker (which means 56 years in Portuguese) and the special color combo.

You, sir, is brilliant!

The only difference is where the driver seats ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think we’re into something here. The Fiat Multipla is very spacious inside, so it could go full Renault Espace F1-esque and swap the second row of seats for a central mounted Corvette engine. I mean, since the LS is swappable into every single possible wheeled thing, why not into a Multipla? Then, it’s just

The bus had problems for a while, the driver asked people to move away from the center because he feared this could happen.

I live in the region, in São José, a neighbour city. This bus was operated by Jotur, known by the bad quality of most of their fleet. Sadly, in Brazil, the public transport bus companies operate in a concession scheme, so they are the only company that serves Palhoça and makes the liasons between Palhoça, São José and

Can’t wait for Citroën S&M

This is a prime example of one of those so called bizarre laws, which obviously nobody can follow. However, as far as I know they do run blood tests for alcohol.

In Brazil traffic offenses are separated in four categories: Leve, média, grave and gravíssima (light, medium, serious and very serious). We have truly obnoxious laws:

They were sold in Brazil in early 90's, but their quality was abysmal. They said Ladas were a social experiment: You could give 10 Ladas to 10 random people on the streets and, on the next day, these 10 people would be close friends. Why? Because they had all spent the previous day at the mechanic, fixing their Ladas!

No, this is a Tesla killer

Now I’m curious? What happens when you fill up your engine with blinker fluid? Does the goop glows in the dark?

I believe so. At least in South America.

Oh no, damned be my fruitful imagination!

These are not even close to the ugliest of them all...

These were just some I collected from GIS. Most I see just swap the tail lights for the Chevrolet Celta’s:

At least it looks good, instead of the Brazilian VW Beetle mix-ups...
