Brazil is still quite strange sometimes. On a sidenote, I have already seen some Gurgel Carajás converted to a more conventional solid rear axle, usually sourced from local Chevrolets such as the Chevette or the Opala. There were some complaints about the torque tube system fitted to the Carajás, but I never remember the reason.
