Just a bit of extra info: Marchs can be had with a Manual transmission in and a very different engine... in South America

+1, the index of productivity a fertile ground has is one of the variables that weighs more on the cost per acre.

That Damn finger!

This little guy. What?

Yes :). That's why I chose the picture... and it looked way better than all the other I could find.

Lowered Daihatsu Hijet Wide 55.

Ha! Yes!

I wonder what the engineers would achieve if only rules regarding car size were kept and all the rest ditched.

Chevrolet is making the 5/7-seater "Spin" in Brazil, for it's Third-world/global market.

Different plane, this company has recently been dismantled, collateral damage from Varig's ruin. They had some pretty nice liveries before, but pictures are hard to find.
