Iran has auto industry.
 

I was surprise to know that Iran has an auto industry.

Probably heavily government-subsidized, for prestige, employment, and trade/currency reasons. The export-to-Russia thing is because they really need foreign exchange with Russia right now. And the Russians want them to have it....

10,000 units into a 2.3 million-unit market isn't going to make the Russian automakers squawk too much.

Yeah it seems the Russian automotive industry has recovered from 2008/9
world recession.

Maybe they could add an ejection seat to save the poor SOB's life during a car bombing.

I wonder if it is programmed to explode if driving near a US embassy?

There's a strong likelihood that they have better ignition switches than GM cars.

Whats the deal with that?

I haven't looked into it, just heard about it.

How do you get killed by a bad ignition switch?

The weight of the key chain overrode a defective detente spring in the switch and turned the car off at highway speed, thereby losing power-steering and brakes, not to mention the airbag after the accident occurred.

I guess people are pissed more about how Management handle the issue.

Every time I see the thread title I get a chuckle.
