 * Comment: Alternative hook suggestions would be welcome - I know this one's slightly too long, but that's because the article name is long! Apologies in advance that all the sources in the article are in Portuguese, I can't find any English-language sources!

 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by sources. Portuguese sources are not a problem. I write a lot about Chinese topics, and English sources are usually hard to come by. No copyvio issues. Hook is a bit long, and I suggest removing "on the road between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro" to make it shorter, as that is not very interesting. Image is freely licensed.
