A PORSCHE CAYENNE TAXI IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAD MOSCOW ECONOMY?

CNN’s Matthew Chance takes a spin in one of Moscow’s “garish reminders”, as he calls them in the video below. A bright orange Porsche Cayenne kitted out for taxi duty in the city from which communism went forth; the city where real estate values are tumbling and garish was, but may no longer be, quite cool.

The fur-wearing Anna Petrova, founder of the Cayenne-running VIP Taxi company, explains how business continues as usual.
