Russia's GAZ

[hugo90]

I saw your industry story on GAZ and was wondering what they are making these days. Last I saw, they were making the old Volga sedan and wagon, kind of like an ugly Volvo 144. I heard something about building the now discontinued Ford Scorpio, but maybe someone has more current info. Is there much of a market for Russian built big cars? I should think that those who could affor it would be buying import makes.

Eastern European auto industry is DEAD
Completely DEAD.
For example, in Russia, they still produce cars such as Volga and Jiguli(dont know if i spelled it right, its something like that). These cars haven't not been updated since like the '60s. Nothing has been improved in them at all, and they all suck.

This is GAZ new model, 3111.

Apparently its a lot like the latest Huindai Sonata.
