I know Ford produces parts in Russia, but I wonder what percent of these cars will be russian made.
In April 2016 in Russia sold 24 648 cars LADA, which is by 7.8% more than in April last year, and 10.7% more than in March 2016. According to preliminary estimates, the share of LADA in the Russian market has reached 20%.

Actually, luxury car sales grew in 2016 but barely, and Avtovaz seen growth as well (so specific brands) but ultimately, a new interest payment system will be needed for auto like it was for home buyers.
As I posted earlier, commercial vehicles like Kamaz seen growth. Logistics is expanding thus need for such vehicles will grow.
