Take the running gear from one of the most blatant symbols of automotive capitalism (the Porsche Cayenne), shroud with way outdated/old-school Russian bodywork, then decorate with subtle Stalin mural. Personally I think the end result is nothing short of awesome.

Very, um, interesting...
Sweet commie wheels! Where did he get those, Macy*s?
Do you have Macy*s in Australia, Luke?
A few years ago there was a really sweet Volga with BMW V12 power, I think. Maybe V8.
Edit: It was V12! http://www.ladaparts.ru/hotrods.php
Those russian euro-based hot rods look pretty nice. Very tastefully done.
In reply to Carson: Nah, the largest American chain-store we have is K-mart, and Target. A quick google search reveals Macy's red star logo, though 
That Volga/Bimmer hotrod is incredible 
Comrades, I've left DNA on my keyboard.
OMGeebus, that volga 21 / BMW 850 is ridiculous! with the chopped top and lowered stance, they really nailed the shape of that car. i'll be back in a little bit. I gotta go, uh, answer the phone or something. yeah, that's it.
I think the Stalin pic is in bad taste.
That guy was a berkelying butcher....
Cool car though - really cool.

My dad and grandfather told me all sorts of stories about cars in Leningrad and Moscow. Basically, there were two kinds of cars- the Volga and the everything else. Volgas were for high ranking government officials and suped up Volgas were for KGB and various other secret police people. Everything else like a Moscvitch VAZes and GAZes are for regular people but they were pretty bad and horrendously expensive for the income of the time.
My grandfather told me about how a friend of his got taken away in a midnight black Volga never to be seen again, presumably to work in a gulag somewhere. The image of Stalin is quite fitting for this car.
