Russia has the technological know how that can equal that of united states yet they haven't for once in their technology race and endeavours made any vehicle that is of world standard in terms of luxury,durability and marketing.

And it got me wondering if there more to car manufacturig than know how?

any product, no matter how good, has to be marketed

just ask steve jobs master of the reality distortion field

I don't think russia has ever made any car worthy of buying in the highly competitive and glamorous car market.The only thing close to internationally accepted russian car was lada.I can remember most teachers and other low earning civil servants use to buy lada in nigeria because it was relatively affordable just like volkwagon beetles.

how many indegenous car industries are in nigeria?

i hope you are aware that the purchasing power of the average nigerian is very low to buy brand new cars if there is a ban on used cars?

The prices could be regulated with subsidies from the government.Nigerians don't need much cars anyway,we should be working towards upgrading,uplifting and updating public tranport system to reduce people's too much reliance on personal cars.

We should learn from the mistakes of americans whose too much reliance on cars is leading them nowhere but wars,conflicts and maximum exploitatations of earth resources in a bid to maintain the constant flow of fuel.

Its not that we DO NOT purchase, we DETEST products made in Nigeria. Our neo-colonial mindset still controls pretty much everyhting we do and BUY. It is like reflex, subconsciously we prefer to see a made in UK,USA, CHINA even IVORY COAST of the product label than a NIGERIA.
And do we blame the buyer? Partly NO! When the producers are largely an ensemble of substandard product lovers who care little for human life and the regulators are really more interested in getting their percentages, when the Federal Government has lenient and soft-padded penalties for product adulterators and industry inferiorators, YOU JUST CAN'T TOTALLY BLAME THE BUYER!
