Who are the big car-buyers in the world? Americans, Japanese, Germans? They are in certain ways but do not forget Russia. For example has the Moscow BMW dealer already in May sold his annual quota of cars and the absolute highest numbers of Lamborghinis, Bentleys and Ferraris are sold in Russia.
In a land where people drive tires with spikes during winter-time this might be astonishing. But with Russia’s economy booming and sitting on almost half of the world’s commodities, Russia is getting wealthy quickly. The Russians addiction to branded goods can nowadays also be felt in Swiss towns and jewelry shops. But not only the super rich buy cars, also the developing middle class. Chinese rip-offs of Toyota Landcruisers and RAV4s have a waiting list of six months.
PS: Rare license-plates are auctioned for up to 150’000$.
