Agnelli is also looking to Eastern Europe, where the auto market is underdeveloped and potentially great. Tito's Yugoslavia builds Fiats under a licensing arrangement, and Poland recently signed a similar agreement to build "Polski-Fiats."

One of the first moves of the post-revolutionary government in the Soviet Union was to construct an elaborate subway system so that Moscow today has the most palatial and opulent subway stations in the world--they look like opera houses inside.
