I think it´s much more than the obvious.
I think it´s a reenactment of the cold war using dramaturgical elements introduced by Ms. Rita Fairbanks during the late sixties/early seventies.
The actress to the right, representing the east according to standard orientation of maps wears a red (colour of communism) coat while the one on the left (representing the west in her blue coat) defends a car, a symbol of the western culture and it´s fixation on wealth&mobility.
Rather obvious, I´d say.

Reminds me of the one about the guy standing in line to buy vegetables in [insert name of favourite former eastern bloc country here]. He's been waiting in line in the cold for hours, and just as he gets near the front of the queue the shopkeeper comes out of the shop and tells everyone there are no more [vegetable of your choice - let's call it potatoes for the hell of it] left. So the guy starts ranting and yelling about how it's such a crock that he's been waiting for ages and now there are none left.
Someone in the queue behind him leans over and whispers in his ear, "Comrade - you know, in the old days, if you made a fuss like that then they'd take you away and shoot you."
So the guy goes back home to the wife, who asks him why he's so miserable. "Have they run out of potatoes, dear?"
"Worse," he replies. "They've run out of bullets."
