It's probably not too late to cancel the order on your C8 and buy one of the babies instead.

Wonder why you see no Russian made vehicles in this country?
Garbage, can not even meet the basic of DOT standards.

Some years ago, while working the docks in Baltimore, a shipment of Russian made cars arrived and were stored at the far remote end of the terminal, they sat there for several years, just falling apart. Wish I had pics of that, biggest hunks of junk I ever saw, and the most putid of colors.

I believe they wound up being destroyed.

Probably Ladas. A Russian manufactured version of a Fiat.
James May has a show on Amazon prime that the first episode is about “people’s cars” . He spends quite a bit of time on the Lada and what a POS it was.

Kenya GDP per capita is around 2,000.00 dollars.

This is going to be a lot better then walking for miles with supplies on your head.

So now they'll need to walk for miles with a car on their head.

A lot of dumpsters gave their lives to make those cars.

Ironically, that's where they'll ultimately end up.
