Every time the table of Brazilian cars goes up, it’s a general cry, because only in Brazil it goes up in so many car prices. And it’s no use explaining: “my people, there’s inflation, there are more and more government security requirements, more and more built-in electronics.” This all makes the car more expensive. “No, but that’s only in Brazil.” Well, it’s not.

A little over five years ago there were several models under 20 thousand dollars in the United States. Last year, only the Mitsubishi Mirage and the Nissan Versa remained. Because the Versa is no longer manufactured there and today there is no longer any car under 20 thousand dollars in the United States.

That is, any car in the North American market costs more than 120 thousand reais in direct currency conversion.
