ConclusionNearly there...

Conclusion

No other market offers such a strong business case for foreign car manufacturers

Foreign brands own the future - Russian brands will lose out

Market success most of all depends on the quality and experience of the staff and partners

Very few firms/professionals truly understand market dynamics

Ignore local challenges at your peril
