Just read this: :(

This is a Fiat Mille.
It is very easy to find a Mille on brazilian streets. By the simple fact it sells a lot.
Despite its project is quite the same since its debut, in 1984.
(The Mille of this photo was probably built after 2008)

Back to 1984, this car was called Fiat Uno. Years later, Fiat launched a new version of the Uno, called Uno Mille.
In the 90's, Fiat started to call it just Mille. And Fiat still calls it Mille.
...meanwhile, people still call it Fiat Uno.

Anyways. This car still sells a lot because it is one of the cheapest cars you can buy in Brasil. And not just cheapest to buy, but cheap to mantain. Very economic as well.

Because of new rules that forces manufacturers to sell every car with ABS and airbags after 2014, Fiat is going to kill this old, boxy veteran.
Why?
Fiat says they can't make a Mille with airbags, because of its old project.
Yea, Fiat. Just because of its old project.
