KD o de 25 mil Zé ruela
Matéria muito mal formulada. Desde o título, o qual não é apresentado na íntegra. Não se apresenta carros de 25 mil. A sugestão do Ônix e da Saveiro se mostram fora de sintonia com a realidade de custo benefício pois esses modelos não se provaram benéficos de forma alguma no mercado. Foram reprovados com choro e ranger de dentes, tornando-se “insugestionáveis”. Articulista precisa pesquisar melhor..
Quem escreveu essa matéria ta aliado com o atual governo, QUERO QUE VOCÊ ME MOSTRE CRONOS POR 48MIL KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Errado meu amigo, o governo que esconde a verdade era o anterior (Bolsonaro) … aliás vamos dar nome aos bois.
