What are you talking about? "Importing a car is pretty much impossible"?!?! I walked around São Paulo last week on a tuesday, and I saw a bunch of BMWs, a bunch of Land Rovers, a bunch of Volvos, a bunch of Audis etc. And I'm talking about new cars, 5 years or newer. Importing a car is actually simple today. You just pay the import taxes, deal with the bureaucracy, and you got yourself a legal, corruption-free if you want it to be, import car dealership. I agree completely that the taxes are very high, and the bureacracy is complicated, but please don't exaggerate things.

- sanoli 11y agoC'mon, first show me where where these automakers are breaking the law, and also where it is these days where you can't import a car without bribing someone. Here are some stories by reputable journalists showing how expensive and bureaucratic it is to import a car by yourself if you want to, yet also how completely legal it is: http://carros.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2014/05/08/burocracia-dificulta-importar-carro-mas-preco-final-pode-compensar.htm http://carros.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2014/05/08/burocra... http://economia.terra.com.br/carros-motos/importar-carro-por-conta-propria-pode-ser-30-mais-barato,168d6037a18da310VgnCLD200000bbcceb0aRCRD.html http://economia.terra.com.br/carros-motos/importar-carro-por... http://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/automoveis/importar-traz-exclusividade-mas-requer-paciencia-ecc6x59lrub8ynmsbmawjpt8u http://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/automoveis/importar-traz-excl...
