O Globo, a national Brazilian newspaper, asked online readers to vote on who would win the air force's F-X2 contract. Despite the hoopla about the now-disputed announcement on 7 September by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declaring the Dassault Rafale the winner, the unscientific poll below showed the Saab Gripen with a comfortable lead. In the wake of the Rafale faux-selection, Saab apparently has offered to slash the Gripen's price in half for Brazil.
