Brazil: that looks like a rebadged Holden Commodore. It was sold through Chevy dealership in the Middle East.
The Brazil one is a Chevrolet Omega which was manufactured in Brazil until 2012. It's essentially a Holden Commodore. There was an agreement with Ford in which Ford provided a Fusion Hybrid and a Ford Edge as presidential cars, but I think that agreement expired or was not renewed and they went back to using the Chevrolet Omega. There is also a Rolls Royce as a parade car.
Lexus is doing well. Agree about the loss of the Fords and Holdens.
Agree also that the Brazilian car looks like a Commodore - maybe they imported it from the US?
It is not maybach?

That Brazilian Chevrolet. That is a Chevrolet Omega, which was known in the US as the recently departed Chevrolet SS and Pontiac G8, which itself were rebadged Holden Commodores. Chevrolet Brasil did sell them for some time and in fact, prior generations of Chevrolet Omega were sold in Brazil as well. Those prior versions were rebadged Opel Omegas (the most recent of which were sold here as the Cadillac Catera).
Confused yet? Gotta love badge engineering!
