On the other hand, the opening scene of "Die Another Day" contains a scen where James Bond meets a North Korean military goon who lambasts the excesses of western capitalism, while having a collection of expensive sports cars.
O.k., it's only a fictional movie (and, as all James Bond-movies with bad mistakes in the recherche, as just meant as bockbusters withot a relation to the reality), so a sports car collection is really unlikely. But either Kim Jong Il, as his father Kim Il Sung always had a large fleet of Mercedes Benzes.
And when they had the feeling, that some interior problems can come up, they have ordered a few hundred of new Benzes and have distributed to the highest military stuff, to keep them quiet. IIRC it was just one year ago, when Mercedes Benz has delivered ca.150 brand new cars to the DPRK.
