No kidding. Part of what I do calls for a basic knowledge of what's going on in the Russian Federation.
So I read the book "The Man Who Tried to Save The World (etc.)"....all about Texas disaster hero, Fred Cuny, and his efforts in Chechnya which cost him his life. The author, Scott Anderson, in making the normal observations about the place, spotted that the local well-to-dos could be seen in SAABs.
My guess is, they liked the big trunk; possibly because good in rough, mountainous territory too, and easy to fix.
