Measuring around 4.5 meters in length, the Mini Land Cruiser, Toyota’s new compact SUV, will feature a vintage design that evokes nostalgia but with modern functionalities.

Sou apaixonada no Jimny, um concorrente seria interessante se o valor fosse parecido. Enquanto para alguns a preocupação é com os tributos dos carros para outros a preocupação é com os tributos da linha branca, uma geladeira ou uma máquina de lavar TB está custando caro. Desde a pandemia, o valor de alguns bens mais que dobrou e não é do interesse das montadoras oferecer mais veículos populares, estão surfando a onda dos SUV’s enquanto tem quem pode pagar ou quem consiga adquirir. E sim, os tributos são elevados, por outro lado, montadoras como a VW insistem em vender para os brasileiros produtos que não atendem as exigências internacionais à preços altos porque tem quem compre. Isso é uma loucura!
Que comparação sem noção. Primeiro, o Jimny não é um SUV, é um jipe. Segundo, o Jimny Sierra tem cerca de 3,6 metros de comprimento, então 4,5 metros é compacto pra quem? Terceiro comparar o motor 1.5 a gasolina do Jimmy com um motor 2.8 turbodiesel de Hilux é brincadeira, não?
TEM QUE SER MUITO **** PRA DIZER QUE SEMPRE FOI ASSIM. O DÓLAR SEMPRE FOI 6,40? O NÍVEL DE TRIBUTOS SEMPRE FOI ESSE? TODO GOVERNO SEMPRE FOI ESSA QUADRILHA?
MAS TEM SEMPRE UNS ESCROTOS TENTANDO COMPARAR E DEFENDER ESSE GOVERNO ****. UNS FDPS!
ESPERE QUALQUER IMPORTADO A PREÇO DE DOIS OU TRÊS. NO GOVERNO DE B, A REDUÇÃO TRIBUTÁRIA ERA CONSTANTE. MAS TEM SEMPRE ESCROTOS TENTANDO DIZER QUE SEMPRE FOI COMO AGORA. SÓ SE FOI NO SEU ****, DEVOTO DE ****.
