Love seeing these classic VW vans cruising all around Rio doing work. So cool!

It's not a kei car anymore, registered as a regular car on white plates. Also,. significant modifications.can still be kept on the car if they're registered, then it will receive a 改 chassis number.

Riding in various BYD models Ubering through Rio. Must admit the seats are comfy and they've got some power. Rio drivers don't take it slow.

VW has had a long and controversial history in Brazil. One positive is seeing classic Beetles and Kombi vans all over the place. They were manufactured in the classic style all the way until the early 2010s. Finding them parked and cruising about Rio adds a cool retro flavor to the town.

I think that's why it would work. They got the design on it perfect. It looks the part it's just smaller. People buy 4cyl and 6cyl Mustangs. Same idea

Why aren't they selling this stateside. Looks like the big boy Ram and would be a perfect Maverick competitor.

Hey!! Awesome I figured these would be known by Brazilians. Excited to see the streets while I'm here.

First taxi ride in Rio and already something cool. Assume this is Beetle based. Sounded like it for sure.

Very cool. In Japan still they're selling for astronomical prices.

A bit of market research reading for the flight to Houston.

The Honda E just has the coolest vibe. I'll even forgive the camera side view mirrors.

The states these days? Can't remember the last time I saw a clan stock one like this.
