The headlines in today's newspaper reports are ridiculous. They put a title as if the launch was almost certain with the already “Brazilian” price, but in the report they say that the launch price in China is so many yuan, the price converted into so many reais… But we all know that for sure, if launch here, the price is at MINIMUM, 80% more... In other words, a “simple, popular” car worth 89 thousand in direct conversion, here will be sold for at least 160 thousand... There is no point in even having expectations that it will be less than that… THIS IS BRAZIL, the country of taxes, unfortunately it will NEVER change…
