$28 Million Superjet Made in Siberia 
Is the world ready for a $28 million Siberian superjet? Russian aerospaceSukhoi Superjet 100 in December, undercutting established jet builders like Embraer and Bombardier. Cheap Siberian labor lowers the cost of the planes, but Sukhoi insists quality will not be compromised as it was developed in collaboration with Finmeccanica of Italy subsidiary Alenia Aeronautica, fetauring optional interiors by famed Italian design firm Pininfarina and the same parts found in more coveted craft. Its 5-seat rows setup, combining style and ergonomics, will be among the largest ever installed on regional transport aircraft thanks to a fuselage almost 18 inches larger than those of competitors.

Wow, DJ did it show any interior shots. I would imagine that it is all custom anyway. The amount of wealth that one would have to have just to support this aircraft is staggering and beyond an "Ole Cowboys" imagination.. Humbled me though... Thanks for posting~Kenny

It`s not that much cheaper than Embraer...the -190 is just 32,5 million..
Bombardier is much more expensive
but regarding the fact that maintenance costs could add up dramatically because parts are not available anywhere and there are no Sukhoi certified mechanics as well as maintenance partners around the world as it is with Bombardier
