I don't compare a Chinese car (I don't trust Chinese people) with a Japanese card, then I want expensive non-electric hybrids, which I also don't trust, so let me buy the Yaris Cross.
I want to know the date it will arrive so I can buy it. Will it arrive by the end of 2024? Thanks
My next car!! When will it arrive here in Brazil?
