A global trend influenced Russia and, especially, its capital city – now WOMEN account for 20% (600 thousand) of all Moscow motorists.

Jacques Nasser, a former president of the Ford Motor Company said: “It is no secret that the number of women buying a car to their taste is increasing every day. Involving women in car creation process will help us to understand and satisfy the demand of this market segment”. Other car manufacturers, as well, do thier best to satisfy the wants of a rapidly growing consumer group – i.e. women. It is quite possible that in the near future a really “female automobile” will come into the world.
