	Argentina 11.673 - Inadmissible
		Marzioni filed a lawsuit in the first instance labor court against his employer, Autolatina Argentina S.A., demanding full compensation for injuries suffered in a work related accident which left him 42.5% disabled.
		Marzioni sought damages and a declaration of unconstitutionality of the compensation limits index established under Resolution 7/89 of the National Minimum Wage Council.
		However, as a consequence of the declaration of unconstitutionality of Resolution 7/89 in the other two cases, the courts did not apply the compensation limits in arriving at the damages awarded, which, presumably, were much greater, according to the formula indicated by the petitioner, than the final amount awarded petitioner on his claim.

	The UAW Looks To Its Future
		One of the most striking steps in this direction was the 1986 creation of Autolatina, a holding company for the Brazilian subsidiaries of Volkswagen and Ford.
		The two companies have already begun to export a Ford car with a Volkeswagen engine, and now each is about to release essentially identical models in the domestic market: Ford will call its the Verona; VW will use the name Apolo.
		Thus, in 1987 Autolatina exported 75,000 Foxes, 68,000 in 1988 and only 53,000 in 1989.

	But concern deepens over Ford's Brazil woes
		Ford executives tell analysts that it now expects to lose $260 million in Brazil over the second-half of 1996, or twice what it lost in the first-half.
		Regenerating its own presence after dissolving its 10-year Autolatina joint venture with Volkswagen is proving much harder than expected.
		The major reasons: Brazilian consumers are showing a preference for lower-margin small cars, and pricing competition is intensifying as a variety of competing small cars are introduced.

		I'm not very familiar with the AutoLATINA standards compared to the world's three major crashworthiness standards (ECE, FMVSS, ADR).
		However, given that some auto designs that can no longer meet (or were never intended to meet) ECE, FMVSS or ADR are still sold new in Latin America, it is a reasonable and likely-correct assumption that the AutoLATINA standards are not as stringent.

	bimmerfest - BMW Forums - Does Porsche own Audi which owns VW?
		Needless to say the XR3, which was supposed to be the sports version, performed worse than the Escort L (all versions had the same engine, but the XR3 was heavier due to cosmetic mods)...
		So, Autolatina decided to give the XR3 a 1.8L VW engine that was good enough to propel the car from 0-100 Km/h in 9.8s...
		Not bad for an early 90's Ford Escort IMO...
