There – that is, in Europe – this format is considered obsolete, legally or illegally, and therefore the press is not particularly active in its coverage. Here – in our God-saved country – it makes no sense to watch European manufacturers be ostracized in the field of green technologies. Western concerns are closed to us, and for a long time.

Well, except individual aesthetes can have fun considering the latest products in the automotive industry. But who are these aesthetes interested in? And our media shows absolute solidarity with the West in this matter and shows absolutely no interest in the once-influential car dealership. Indeed, a dozen new products, collected with sin in half around the world at the Paris Motor Show, did not captivate the general public at all.

For the most part it was electric cars – the ecology of the brain in Europe is advancing. It is therefore not surprising that the Renault 4, Alpine A110 R, Dacia Manifesto, Jeep Avenger, Mercedes EQE and other ‘advanced’ technology fashionable in liberal circles took center stage at the auto show. In addition to them, hybrids, hydrogen cars and other spacecraft flying through the Bolshoi Theater were also presented.

But in Paris it was one, two and miscalculated. Entering the European market for the first time, BYD has shown – you won’t believe it, again! – compact electric crossover Atto 3. Great Wall has put down Ora Funky Cat – also an “electric train”. He brought his electric car and GAC – a new GS5 SUV that showed off at the company’s booth. That was all – as the famous song says. In other words, even the Chinese cars brought to Paris turned out to matter only to a narrow layer of environmental warriors.

However, the once glorious car dealership had its own zest. He introduced Europeans to the Vietnamese company VinFast, which, despite its young age, is set to become a global player, opening head offices in Germany, France and the Netherlands to start with. The Vietnamese presented pre-production versions of the compact crossovers VF 6 and VF 7. It seems that at least these cars could be of interest to Russian drivers. But here’s the problem – these are electric vehicles too.
