The Fiat Oggi (named after "today" in Italian) is a two-door sedan based on the Fiat 147, a subcompact car produced in South America by Italian automaker Fiat. The Oggi was produced in Brazil from 1983 until 1985, when it was replaced by the Uno-based Prêmio. This car was a response to the new sedans in the Brazilian market, the Chevrolet Monza, the Volkswagen Voyage and later the Ford Escort.
The Oggi featured a very big trunk for a car only 3,966 mm (156 in) long. According to Quatro Rodas magazine of 05/1983 the volume of the trunk was 440 liters, the second largest in Brazil. The biggest was the Monza's: 448 liters, but the Monza was a mid-size car with an overall length of 4,366 mm (172 in).
The Oggi was mainly sold with one engine option, the 1.3 L (1,297 cc) Fiat 124 series engine, equipped to run on either alcohol or gasoline. The gasoline engine had a power of 60 PS (44 kW) and the alcohol engine, the most common, 61 PS (45 kW) of power. The gasohol versions output was reduced to 55 PS (40 kW) in 1984 for a lower fuel consumption. The CS version was added in January 1984. [2] In 1984 and 1985 there was also a special version named CSS with a 1.4 L (1,415 cc) engine. [3] This was also used in a Brazilian race championship and was limited to about 300 units sold. Overall, 20,419 Oggis were sold in Brazil over its three-year career. [3]
The Fiat Uno is a supermini manufactured and marketed by Fiat. Launched in 1983, the Uno was produced over a single generation in three and five-door hatchback body styles until 1995 in Europe — and until 1 January 2014, in Brazil. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the Uno strongly recalled the high-roof, up-right packaging of Giugiaro's 1978 Lancia Megagamma concept, in a smaller configuration.
The Chevrolet Chevette is a front-engine, rear-drive subcompact manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet for model years 1976–1987 as a three-door or five-door hatchback.

The Mazda Familia, also marketed prominently as the Mazda 323, Mazda Protegé and Mazda Allegro, is a small family car that was manufactured by Mazda between 1963 and 2003. The Familia line was replaced by the Mazda3/Axela for 2004.

The range was expanded with a three-door estate in 1987 called the Fiat Elba, a four-door sedan added in 1987 and a five-door estate in 1989. The car was sold mainly in South America. Production ended in 2000 and the Duna and Elba models were replaced by the Fiat Siena and the Fiat Palio Weekend. The Duna was the best-selling car in Argentina between the years 1990 and 1995.

It was first presented at the 25th Tokyo Motor Show, formally introduced to Japan in 1983 and ultimately sold in seven countries across three generations and marketed worldwide as the Suzuki Swift for the first two generations. An alliance formed in 1981 between General Motors, Suzuki and Isuzu allowed GM to market the Cultus as a captive import internationally under more than a dozen nameplates including the Geo Metro, Chevrolet Sprint, Pontiac Firefly and Holden Barina. It was also known as the M-car within GM.

The Farus company, located in the southern Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, was founded in 1979. The name of the company is a portmanteau of FAmilia RUSso, as the cars were built by Alfio Russo and his son Giuseppe. Their original mid-engined ML and TS cars were followed by the larger Farus Quadro, which was also part of an abortive effort to be sold in the United States. After a change of name to TECVAN, the company shut its doors in 1990 as a result of the Plano Collor market liberalization.
Designed by Aurelio Lampredi, the Fiasa engine first appeared in the Brazilian-built Fiat 147 in September 1976. The name Fiasa is a portmanteau of "Fiat Automóveis S.A.", for whom it was developed. The in-line four-cylinder engine has five main bearings, a cast iron block with an aluminium cylinder-head with belt-driven overhead camshafts actuating the valves. The engine remained in production until 2001 in Latin America, and also provided the basis for a diesel version. The capacity was initially 1.0 L (1,049 cc), but Lampredi designed the engine to be suited for a considerably longer stroke. Sizes eventually ranged between 1.0 and 1.5 L. The last versions of this engine to be built was a 1.5-litre, dedicated-ethanol version developed in Brazil that served the Fiat Uno and its derivatives, and later yet the Fiat Palio until 2001.
