Answer
I haven't seen any Smart Cars in Brazil yet. Brazil has had small cars like the "K" (kah)for a long time though. Generally, you can expect any model to be about twice what the exact same thing costs in the U.S. Note: You can't bring used cars to Brazil and for new ones, you pay tax to make it equal to buying here.
