    If I remember correctly Brazil has something like 100% sales tax on imported cars. Maybe it is about time the world trade organisation did something about it.

    I remember finding something techie (an alternator?) from Brazil on the ground at Longbridge. They make VWs in Brazil. I wonder what else? Renaults?

    Clearly the importer thinks there is a market!

    Some Brazilians are quite rich and can afford something different and given that the choice of home made cars is a bit limited...

    Interesting that the engines still give out more power there - 170 instead of 160.
