Pictured here we have a Russian KamAZ truck and a Toyota Premio (well…uhm…what once was a Toyota Premio. The crash took place in the Russian city Irkutsk and was caused by the truck driver running a red light. After the truck hit the Premio, it dragged it for about 30 meters (100 ft) until it hit a building. Though almost nothing’s left of the Toyota, the woman driving the car was really lucky and she amazingly survived. More photos after the jump. Read More: "Toyota Premio smashed by truck in Russia"

Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most popular new smal SUV’s out there, being a real hit with clients, waiting lists being very long. As such, VW has released the Tiguan in the Russian market, saying that it’s local factory based in Kaluga will be supplying the SUV for these clients. The plant also produces the Jetta and Passat models which are also available on the Russian market.

Frank Witterman, CEO of VW in Russia has stated that “the decision to build the Tiguan locally is an indication of the strategic importance of the Russian market for the VW”. It seems that VW is really taking into account the spending power of this new emerging market and it’s taste for modern vehicles. There will be two models available at the lauch of the Tiguan, one equipped with a 1.4 litre 150 bhp TSI engine priced at €27,900 (or 904,000 ruble) and another TSI engine, a 2.0 litre one, capable of delivering 170 bhp starting at €32,500 (or 1,053,550 ruble).

Some of you might remember the world’s fastest taxi we wrote about some time ago. But, while the Lamborghini Murcielago might be the fastest, it sure isn’t the most comfortable. And here are some taxis in Russia (where else?!) which really give you a comfy drive. Yeah, those are a Maybach and a Porsche Cayenne. Now, if we might say that the Cayenne is not such a surprise, who the heck would spend at least $600,000 to buy a Maybach and then turn it into a taxi. So, next time you’re in Russia and don’t want to get into a Lada cab, you might get lucky and ride into one of these, though that woul probably hurt your wallet pretty bad.

The legend says that at the beginning there was a Porsche Cayenne, who, by definition, is not the prettiest car around. And then there were Russians. Crazy Russians.
