‘Ford Focus, whose price varies between $17,000 and $19,000, is probably the best-selling car in Yekaterinburg at the moment. 1,500 Ford cars have been sold in the city since the beginning of the year,’ reports Sales Manager of AutoLand’s Ford show room Ilya Tolshin.

‘In terms of sales, Ford was last year’s No.1 in Russia, and I believe it will keep the position in 2007 as well. It largely competes with Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai,’ he says.
