Another photograph was taken from a July 2009 Russian article about land near a St. Petersburg airport that was "stuffed with unsold imported foreign cars" because car sellers in that country "say that they got too much overstocked with this inventory and now they simply use all free territories available to pack them with thousands of cars."

Stories like this have been around for a long time. Motivated by people who want the car industry to fail IMO.

Apparently... Back in the late 80s Honda had a huge stash of brand new unsold Preludes.
