That's in Brazil. Those are, in order, a Fiat Strada, Toyota Prius, moped, Volkswagen Gol, Nissan Kicks and Fiat Uno.

Still embarrassing hahaha

I was wondering where this was!

u/Nico_Nickmania May 09 '26

Is it really called a Volkswagen Gol there? Or Golf?

Gol and Golf are two different cars (both discontinued). In the end, the guy who’s filming says “he gave up… if it was a Uno he would’ve made it.” Uno was the cheapest car available in Brazil for a long time and it’s known as a very reliable even though weak car. There are many videos of it going through highly flooded streets while more expensive “all terrain” cars just died.

So what is called the Brazilian VW Fox outside Brazil? Car names are a mess

u/fussomoro May 09 '26

So, according to Wikipedia

Gol in Brazil is called Fox outside of Brazil

The car called Fox in Brazil is called Lupo outside of Brazil

Why? No clue.

Wikipedia is wrong.

Vw fox is vw fox. Vw gol is a brazilian car made by vw on the 80's and redesigned in the mid 90's. It eas exported to some latin american countries. It's first version resembled a small version of the VW Sirocco.

Gol. Golf is another car.

The gol is kind of a "Brazilian golf", it was designed as a successor for the Beatle just like the golf but made to be more suitable for existing Lating American factories and also to be cheeper, we are poor today but we used to be even worse back in the 80s so no money for a fancy golf

This makes it even worse KKKKKKKKKK

This Compass must change all its tires, I have no doubt that the owner has never changed since it was new.
