Also called the VW Polo in Europa (slight differences but basically the same car I think).

Not exactly. VW Gol is a brazilian evolution of a former Golf (3 generations back, I think). VW Polo and now VW Fox (not the one exported to US 15 years ago) are also manufactured in Brazil.
After Gol, comes:
Fiat Palio
GM/Chevrolet Celta
GM Corsa
Fiat Uno (the original one, more than 2 decades old with minor changes!)
Ford Fiesta
Renault Clio
VW Fox
GM Astra
Fiat Siena (Palio sedan)
Toyota Corolla (best selling corporate car, it was GM Vectra's place)
Ford EcoSport (Fusion in Europe; Brazil's SUV for the masses)
Peugeot 206
Honda Fit
VW Polo
Fiat Strada (Palio pickup)
Ford Ka
GM Montana (Corsa pickup, recently redesigned).
The hottest thing in Brazilian market are "flex fuel" cars, capable of running with alcohol (metanol) or gasoline or any mix of them. Currently brazilian gasoline has 25% of metanol.
