SUVs are very popular in Australia too whereas smaller vehicles are more common on the smaller European roads. I call the SUVs mum/mom cars because they are so popular with mums doing the school runs. Unfortunately they often don't drive very well and commonly cause obstructions and near misses around the school zones.
I would love to learn more about Brazil. I met a Brazilian woman here a few years ago and it was only then that I learnt Portugese is spoken there, not Spanish as many assume with it being in South America.
