The logic is flawless. In the same sense, science proved anniversaries are good for our health: The more birthdays you celebrate, the more you live.

The iPhone is considered a high-end luxury product here. So even with almost 110% of total taxes at some states over the sticker price, Apple asks for a huge premium because their products are seen as status items here. The iPhone X arrived for R$8k, the price of a good used car!

Welp, since I only know the Brazilian reality, I have no idea if 28k is too much or too few. R$100k is cheaper than a Honda Civic here!

A bit shy over 100k BRL, which is around 28k USD. Not that cheap, but it would be something unique.

Lemme show you through the magic of Moving Pictures®. In short, it’s a very capable off roader. And, since the USD x BRL exchange rate is almost $1 USD to R$ 4, it would be dirt cheap to buy one of these new to bring to the US.

There’s already a car named Stark, and it’s an awesome (and very capable) small off-roader made in Brazil. Plus, it’s the first car to be designed at my state, Santa Catarina!

Q always had a refined taste

I tend to forget Lada has cars other than the Niva/Riva and the Laika/2107... Totally forgot about the Samara!

The dash and the interior looks horrendous, in fact. But, oh boy, what a beautiful car it is:

At first I thought it was a Lada, by the logo, but the interior is too luxurious to be a Lada, and the dash has too many gauges. Then I suspected the logo looks like a Viking ship. But I can’t pinpoint what it is. Looks too Lada-y for me

That’s a small steering wheel! I hope this car has power steering.

Last time I checked, Alfa Romeo still used wooden steering wheels on the 156:

The Journey spawned a much more budget model: The Fiat Freemont, a rebadged Journey. In Brazil the Journey is considered a mid-luxury car, and the Freemont...

Just picture a Ford Excursion RS!

What about a mid-engined Toyota Previa?

That’s sad... I think the Ford Expedition ST is the ｐｅｒｆｅｃｔ car for those wide European roads

Worse advices I’ve ever heard came, from where else, driving school:

You could start importing the sedanized Ford trucks made by Tropical Cabines in Brazil:

Swap a 2.0l EcoBoost on it! It’s lighter than the stock Fiesta, it would be a rocket!

This sums up the BMW opinion perfectly. What is heritage anyway?
