Here is a product that awesome Russian manufacturer has produced for as long as I can remember myself. I would choose ANY car over that, and that costs around 10k I believe...
At least they are getting some decent cars from GM and Ford now. |
Sure, if Russia wanted to put up restrictions on imported and even domestic built cars made by foreign companies, that is up to them.
They dont, and everyone is taking advantage of it, including GM. Its good for GM, and right now good for Russia. But Russia's auto copanies isnt nearly as strong, nearly as great, nearly as helpful to Russia's economy. Russia has an auto industry that is based off other countries automakers. VW, GM, Ford, and Toyota all have tried to make headway there.
But in the end, it has NOTHING to do with what is going on with America's auto makers.
