Cars in Brazil, especially high end automobiles, have been historically more expensive than in the US or other car-producing countries due to the fact that even the cars built in Brazil generally use imported components, subjects to elevated taxation in comparison to components produced nationally.

Besides that, brazil has no national automaker, meaning that even when the cars are nationally produced, the design is foreign, making the price higher.

On the other hand, cars are loved by most brazilians, and travelling by car is a popular option for a holiday or vacations - even when a family or group of friends does not own a car, LINK renting a car for a roadtrip is a possibility for comfort and fun.
