"... somehow the Russians imbued the car with the precise handling and sharp steering of a fine European sports sedan! It amazed the hell out of me the first time I drove mine! And the quality of construction - workmanship and materials etc on my car was superior to any Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, etc that I've owned. It truly was (styling aside) a world class motorcar and should be recognized as..."
To reply diplomatically I call nobody less than all of you to the witness stand. The Soviet foreign trade department has been a very powerful organization and did the utmost to get convertible currency. For two decades Chaika's were offered all around the free world. Very diplomatically speaking, the result was rather underwhelming. If something unknown is "superior to any Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, etc" then it has to be one of the most closely guarded secrets. Otherwise there would be no need to mention its superiority.
The witness questioning simply consists of one question. Do you believe in free enterprise economy?
