How many expensive cars in 2018 on the roads of Russia?

It is estimated that almost half of Russian fleet – cars

The car is rapidly moving from the category of vehicle in a very specific means of prestige and luxury. It was in the beginning of motorization of the country of the Soviets, and this did not forget to mention the friends-writers – Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov’s novel “the Golden calf”, so was back in 1990-ies and so is happening again now.

Look at the price tags the price tags on imported cars:

Hyundai Sonata value from 1.2 to 1.7 million rubles. About as much is a Studio apartment in Moscow on the used market. But 14 years ago Sonata was a favorite vehicle of taxi drivers. Moreover, this model can afford was even privates.

If you take one of the most affordable prestige cars – Audi A3 sedan, you will find that this small little car with an engine capacity of 1.4 liter will cost, on average, under 2 million! The usual complement of small machine costs about 1.8 million rubles! Isn’t that a luxury?

About the cost of a business class scared to even talk – so unreal and inadequate it price, from 2.5 million and up to infinity. Well, about the domestic auto industry to mention in this context is insulting. When the UAZ “Patriot” is worth 1 million rubles, one might wonder about the advisability of purchasing such an expensive designer “LEGO”.
