    They will have new cars.
    Like this
    this
    or this

    Actually there is no real chlice between new western car and new russian. New western car is much better. The choice is only between used western car and new russian for those who don't have enough money for anything better. Although it is a good chance for asian cars. They will definetely take a share of the market.

    With GM making more (most?) of their cars overseas and having more dealerships in China alone than in the U.S. it's going to be increasingly hard to define a car make as western or asian.

    Russian car manufacturer experience so much problems that even bettering the situation 10% will already give it an edge. And the loss of our market for european car parts and growing competition there can be as unpredictable as to create big problems for them even if the proprietor has enough money from asian projects. In place of our deputies I would close car market completely for any european manufacturer OR proprietor.

    I have a driving license and I know for sure that the production line that was used before ended up in Ukraine. Russia wanted to purchase OPEL once, but even then western market wasn't that free for russians. That's why the production line which we use now is former Vauxhaul, which is a completely different car from ancient (but good) Fiat.

    *shrug* A country that makes most of it's cars in asia, sells most of it's cars in asia, and keeps the money it makes overseas is still an American made car?

    Of course they will. More people will have jobs and the economy will be better off. The Russians make some of the best fighter aircraft in the world. They can easily make good cars.

    We made some of the best fighters in WW2 but then we sold things like the Ford Pinto 20 years later.

    Just because they make good planes (which they don't, they are decades behind our fighters in technological advancement) doesn't mean they can make good cars. They aren't the same company. The most modern Russian fighter prototype is a knockoff of our F-22 which has been flying for decades.

    Russians don't need cars we have bear mounts. :roflol:

    Seriously, this is yellow press class topic, that is so far from reality, go panaramic view on any city in Russian and find 3 ancient cars together. You won't be able to do so. Guys we have google and all, and you posting some delusions.

    Putin is not known as the great chess player for nothing. Putin-chess.jpeg There is no way he's going to get caught in some self destructive trap by Washington like you know who? :thumbsdown: Angela-Merkel_2813000b.jpg

    To him these sanctions are a blessing in disguise because Russia now has a chance to develop its own industries and become completely self sufficient. The sacrifices compared to the benefits are very small, otherwise his approval ratings would not have hit 84%.:thumbsup:

    You have delusions of grandeur.....Oh, I forgot, you - "exceptional nation." Another would be the "exceptional nation" to learn to think independently. ...These are the cars made ​​in Russia.

    P/S:
    Maybe you can tell us - why the "exceptional nation" flies into space on Russian rockets? And still can not replicate (or fake) Russian rocket engines?

    As the sales for the Russian cars increase, the prices will drop and more Russians will be buying them so it benefits them all around. The U.S. will lose, since most people lease cars, and they are then sold as second hand cars in foreign countries. Won't this make the prices go up?

    I can just see them now. Putin-Medvedev.jpg

    Obama defunded NASA. We were the first to the moon. Rockets are nothing, we've had rockets for decades. We invented and deployed the GPS navigation system. Our fighters have been able to defeat Russian fighters since the Cold War. Our nuclear weapons are more advanced than theirs, our vehicles more advanced, our society more advanced.

    Yes, we are superior.

    And how do they perform compared to a Veyron? Compare real numbers. Anyone can make a car that looks nice, but lets get it out on the track.

    As far as I know, in Russia people buy mostly cars produced in Russia. As you surely have noticed the ban imports - an increase in sales of cars made ​​in Russia - an increase in jobs - the improvement of living standards of the population - the growth of the Russian economy.... If nebilo sanctions, they would have to come up with.

    Ok, did you not read? I said Obama defunded NASA. It doesn't mean they are superior, it means they're keeping their Cold War era junk flying. We scrapped ours to let private industry get us into space safer, cheaper and more efficiently.

    Oh wow, what an epic FAIL. Nice catch, Litwin. I'm an expert on Russian airpower, but their cars, not so much. I just took the guy at his word, I had no idea he was full of crap.

    And that ?. Russian - the first space satellite. Russian - the first flight of the animals into space. Russian - the first manned space flight. Russian - the first woman astronaut. Russian - first exit man in space. Russian - the first lunar rover. Russian - the first primer with the moon. Russian - the first photo of the back side of the moon. And so on. ....

    You seem to have noticed - "had". Besides - a Russian engine.

    What relation to "Veyron" are Americans? "Bugatti" - an Italian company. The owners - the Germans. What does the United States?

    Eg. Marussia B2 2.8 T AT 420 Hp

    [​IMG]

    Power - 420 hp
    Engine capacity - 2798
    Acceleration to 100 km \ h - 3.8 sec
    Speed ​​- more than 300 km \ h
