Believe me, there's still some market for the Kombi. In spite of being old, underpowered, lacking a 5-speed transmission and some amenities more usual in modern vans, it still performs better in harsh environments still very usual in the Brazilian countryside, and even copes better with badly-mantained pavements in the streets.
I remember to have said before that vehicles in Brazil are expensive, and the Kombi is still the least expensive one with a payload higher than 3/4-ton.
