Keep in mind that popular cars in the US can be luxury cars in Brazil. My Brazilian friends' first reaction when I tell them I have a Honda Civic here is "damn, freaking awesome, you're loaded!"... and then I tell them that's a pretty basic car in America :)

This is probably in part because import duties in Brazil are insane, so an imported car is much, much more expensive than it would be in the US.

a lot of rich people in brazil drive cheap/lower end cars because carjacking and literal highway robberies are a huge problem.
