And there you have the Soviet Automobile!


Explanation:
Is this meant in an ironic/sarcastic sense? Such as: "Behold! The glory of the Soviet Automobile!" ?

Asker: Thank you for your version. It is not ironic. It is a call, appeal. English does not have this grammatical form unfortunately. The nearest translation could be 'Let us'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Спасибо за вариант, но, мне кажется, смысл призыва в этом переводе (Bring back the Soviet automobile!) несколько меняется. Лозунг относится к 1920м годам и призывает создать новый, пока не существующий автомобиль.
