As chamadas das reportagens dos jornais de hoje em dia, são ridículos. Colocam um título como se estivesse quase certo o lançamento com o preço já “abrasileirado”, mas na reportagem falam que o preço de lançamento lá na china é tantos yuans, preço convertido da tantos em reais… Mas todos sabemos que com toda certeza, se lançarem aqui, o preço é no MÍNIMO, 80% a mais… Ou seja, um carro “simples, popular” de 89 mil em conversão direta, aqui será vendido por pelo menos 160 mil… Não adianta nem ter expectativas de que será menos que isso… AQUI É BRASIL, o país dos impostos, infelizmente NUNCA mudará…
