Russia has so far to go. This might actually be a wise move. The only worse cars out there are Chinese automobiles. And that's a bit of a tossup.

Russian better then Chinese??!!! You're kidding right???
Chinese cars are mostly 10 year old copies of Japanese (or Korean)designs.
Russian cars are 30 to 40 year copies of Italian designs. (and a few pos homebrews).
