hehe, I don’t know much about other world, but it seems to me, that 50% of all world’s Bentleys are in Moscow.. that’s not just “bad economy”. bad economy is a myth, it’s alright here. but th roads are really awfull because of rapidly changing climate. It’s very sad to break cars like that by the roads…

@ Autocritical , i bet those 13 cars were bought by some 18 year olds to park them in front of their school. the real Russian mobsters , i mean businessmen buy their Lambos in Spain, Italy, France or other countries where they have their summer residences.

Oh my word! 13 cars?

That is a bit of a shock! To be honest, I don’t know much about Russia, but I would have thought it was a country that would have bought more than 13 Lambos!

So I guess you could say not many folks have been ‘Russian’ in to pick up a new Lambo?

Sorry, but it’s Friday and I just don’t care.

How does Lamborghini expect super-cars to sell in the bad economy? Plus, in the article, it stated that “Thanks to its harsh winters and underdeveloped roads, Russia isn’t exactly a hotbed for supercar sales.” I would be heartbroken to see a Lambo damaged by harsh conditions.

The biz will improve: look at price of oil, it is at $72 barrel. Commies will get their share of petro dollars; perhaps they will be frugal this time around and spend those on Lambo’s not invasions. Then again, we are talking facken commies…..

As a purveyor of luxury goods one would think they, Mercury, would not have picked the name of a mid-level auto brand from the United States.
