Chinese automakers have had a good time in Latin America, and even some markets which used to be somewhat conservative such as Argentina also experienced a presence of Chinese-made vehicles such as the Dongfeng Sokol (DFSK) C35 van, noticeable for its design which is obviously "inspired" by the facelifted 3rd-generation Ford Transit. This model was never available in Brazil, where some other DFSK models have been imported, yet this one registered in Argentina showed up in downtown Florianópolis. On a sidenote, the C35 is originally either a 2-seater panel van or a 5-seater "crew cab" van, so the side windows fitted to this one are clearly aftermarket.
