Even though I'm sure NHTSA would never certify it as a 4-seater, and the average Joe would not be willing to buy a 2-seater version in order to circumvent crash regulations, the new Jimny Sierra could be a good contender to those side-by-side ATVs. Interior space was improved. I couldn't fit...

It does look good on white. Spotted this one while walking the dog a while ago.

I like the Interceptor more than the Continental GT

The CJ6 has been made locally but is not nearly as common as the CJ5 back here, and AFAIK most of the American-made ones were exported to Sweden or for CKD assembly in South Africa.

That's a ZX GrandTiger, a random copy of some older generation of the overseas Toyota Hilux. In some countries it uses a copy of the Toyota 2Y engine, while in Venezuela it's fitted with a copy of the Mitsubishi 4G64.

Not bad at all for a '03 that had been beaten the hell out, but when I drove it the brakes didn't perform as good as I was expecting :ohnoes: The engine was outsourced from MWM-International in order to meet local content requirements, it's a 2.8L gear-driven OHC with 12 valves (3 per...

Does anyone here already experienced a motorcycle fitted with ABS brakes? I'm seriously considering to get a small motorycle ASAP and, since I'm likely going to ride in in all weather conditions, it seems like the ABS might worth the higher price. The cheapest motorcycle fitted with ABS in my...

It looks cool, and seems to require fewer maintenance.

Ford released a version of the F-350 with a high-speed 4-cyl turbodiesel below 3-litre, targetted initially to Brazil and Argentina. Gassers are not economically viable into full-size trucks back here, a V8 turbodiesel is deemed by commercial operators and farmers as too expensive, and the local...

These micro tractors are also available back here, but none tuned for drag races... Kubota Tractor Drag Racing a Modded Truck | Speed Society GmcEDeouN4g

Cheaper than a regular air-conditioner, in some cases about 5 times cheaper, and with a lower impact on fuel consumption, roof-mounted swamp-coolers became an usual feature in long-hauling trucks back here. More effective in dry places than in humid ones, but I've seen them even in Amazon...

Based in the same platform of the Chevrolet Sonic, with 5-seater and 7-seater versions, introduced in South America as a replacement for the Opel Zafira and Opel Meriva which earlier versions were still being made in Brazil until the last year. Its engine is a SOHC 8-valve 1.8L which is...

Those crossover SUV's don't have either the internal space of a real minivan or the off-road ability of a real truck-based SUV, so they're maybe the most pointless of the currently-available vehicles. Even an old Chevy Lumina has a more comfortable ride than the current Chevrolet Captiva...

http://www.fiatprofessional.com/com/Models/Strada This :quote:beauty:quote: is made in Brazil (where else?) and available in all South America, Europe and some Central American markets. Based in the Fiat Palio, a subcompact targeted to the so-called "emerging" markets. Ironically, in...

_d4t9oIgHbM A friend of mine took part on this, and his motorcycle has only DRUM brakes... :skull:

yioqqumv7i0 Who complained there is no way to fit a V8 into a Transit? :naughty:

Italians know since 1948 :jester: Piaggio Ape (not the kind of ape an American would be thinking, ape is "bee" in Italian, pronounced like "ah-pay"). This one is actually diesel-powered, but would anybody complain about it? :jester:

Roomier and getting 62MPG, with 163hp/251lb.ft from a DIESEL 2.0L turbocharged engine moving the front wheels and a 37hp electric motor to the rear axle. http://www.peugeot.com/en/products/cars/3008hybrid4.aspx It's referred by Peugeot as a crossover, but at least for me it's clearly a...

Since my dad bought me the truck I'm considering to build a camper module to bolt into its stock pickup box. My uncle is going to give me a towing hitch but I'm not a trailers enthusiast. Considering to use aluminium but also considering fiberglass.

I took these pictures about 2 years ago. This is an insult for a Wrangler, to be lowered just like a fart-canned Honda is supposed to be. But it's not the worst: it was also "castrated" as we say here when a 4WD vehicle is converted into 2WD. The transfer case was removed and the axles...

Seems like the main issue with the 2-stroke diesels was about the ashes content in the lube oil, but since now with all this DPF stuff is easier to find it maybe could be another good option. Considering that 2-stroke diesels are still the standard in large ships I bet its reliability is enought...

Back here every car is too much expensive, so I won't talk about prices because it's too out of the american reality. But a diesel '95 Mitsubishi L200 for the same price of a brand-new flexfuel econobox is a good deal back here. Too much stronger to face the worst brazilian roads (and having...
