European cities are filled with apartment dwellers with no charging options, plus the longer range cars tend to be on the larger sizes (not practical in the narrow streets which are very common in old villages and city centres). If one wants a small car capable of the occasional medium-long distance travel outside of the city an Hybrid is currently the best option (unfortunately).

Grândola is a good choice, though because of the political association it will never be a hit with the non-leftist crowd. Dunas or A minha casinha are probably more popular/neutral choices and, unlike Zeca’s song, no-one outside of Portugal has ever heard about them (Grândola is well-known amongst at least some niche circles in Spain, where it was first released/sung during the dictatorship).

OTOH I’m fairly sure that in 50 years few will remember Xutos and GNR, while Grândola will still be sung over the centennial celebrations (assuming we don’t fall back into a far-right dictatorship by then…)
