[s-cars] "The Aluminum Crowd" / Current UrS prices

[Taka Mizutani]

The whole _winter_ in Russia? Yikes. That's nuts.

Drive a W211 E-Class MBZ with the Airmatic DC suspension- that's the best
current
ride that you can get w/o totally breaking the bank. E500 or E550 has
tremendous power,
great driving dynamics. Only the S8 would be comparable, in a larger
package, without
the wagon option. IMHO, that's the best slushbox option.

Isn't gas expensive in Russia? Maybe a B7 A4 2.0T quattro w/ 6-speed manual.

Wouldn't it be better to import a car from Europe into Russia rather than
bringing one from
the States? Then you have all sorts of diesel and manual transmission
options and a lot more
choices of cars.

Just get something like a Lincoln Navigator- can't be too many people
driving one of them around
Russia, no? You could probably resell it for a huge profit.
