Na minha opinião, quem vai mandar nesse mercado é o preço, como a estrutura do Brasil ainda esta engatiando pra receber o carro elétrico, provavelmente vão taxar eles de forma que fiquem muito caros.
E a Toyota vence mais uma vez!!!!
Achei um absurdo custar 3 vezes mais que a China. Sai mais barato importar.
Estou aguardando ansiosamente a chegada no Brasil. Já tem data?
