The elites get the odd Japanese or Korean compact; the older elites tool around in Russkie shit. The folks in 'good standing' but who are nothing special get to keep their ancient vehicle. If Cuba ever gets free, there will be swarms of people wanting to buy those old heaps for big money.
Those three wheeled things that look like yellow baseball carts (to take the pitcher to the mound) are in a line of taxis (those are government owned, fwiw). The trucks are likely doing business for the state, to say nothing of that military looking jeepish/hummery thing in one shot.
I see several older cars in that picture, but if you look closely at the images, there are very FEW cars in both shots, for the population....transportation IS an issue there, make no mistake. This is still the norm for the average soul looking to find their way around via private conveyance (as opposed to bus):
