Why is AvtoVAZ still unable to please the Russians with at least one major breakthrough, GAZ is diving into intimate spheres instead of producing cars, and the country’s chief traffic officer is trying to win the laurels of the President of the Russian Federation? Details on the main car events of the coming week are in the video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
AVTOVAZ resumed production of the LADA Largus, put the Niva Legend Bronto on the assembly line and announced the expansion of the model range with an all-new C-class car similar to Kia Cerato, Skoda Octavia and Hyundai Elantra. Meanwhile, Rosstandart unveiled the interior of the redesigned LADA Vesta, which is due to be presented to the public next year. The domestic auto giant’s business was going uphill, right?
And the head of the traffic police, Mikhail Chernikov, volunteered to support AVTOVAZ in such difficult times. The General went on an inspection tour of the country’s roads this week and chose a white LADA Granta as the lead car. In addition, in the anti-crisis configuration – without anti-lock brakes and airbags. Is the country’s chief traffic officer trying to replicate the president’s feat?
Meanwhile, the head of the traffic police is testing a simplified Lada, his subordinates pick up the worst offenders. Since the beginning of the year, traffic cops have handed out more than 78,000 fines for violating license plate rules. Of that nearly 70,000 for driving a car with illegible and dirty number plates. And this, despite the instruction of General Chernikov to stop punishing drivers for minor violations …
But there is also good news! For example, about the fact that prices for new cars in Russia have stopped growing: in the first weeks of July, only two car manufacturers rewrote their prices – JAC and Kia. Or how about the news that GAZ has applied for registration of the trademarks “Chaika”, “Volga−21” and “Victory”, among which it plans to sell stationery, amulets, machetes, toys, beer and even underwear to produce?
