My head hurts.  It's well worth struggling through some of Google's
translation of these pages (may help to remember that Russian doesn't
have definite articles like 'a' or 'the').  We think Vanagon
production numbers are low...how about an allocation for your local
car company to build six vehicles per year...

My eyes hurt too.  "Home" and "Start" were what they got when they
tried to look American.  Russian style works much better IMO left to
its own devices.  Like the ekranoplan wing-in-ground-effect
machines...http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/aircraft-pictures/Ekranoplanlarge.jpg
