Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with members of the government, paid special attention to the problem of highly inflated prices for new cars. According to him, it is necessary “to ensure that cars become much more affordable for Russian families under the current conditions.” But what is the realistic chance that this problem will be solved in the near future?
Meanwhile, Russian dealers are putting “space” price tags on “official” cars, parallel imports are gaining momentum in the country, which brought a lot of fairly affordable “gray” new products. An alternative to the budget Rio Solaris, compact and three-row crossovers: which cars should you look at for those planning to upgrade their vehicle?
Those who are afraid to deal with imported cars because of possible warranty problems should hurry: the warehouse stocks of “white” cars are melting. And when they run out, only Ladas and Chinese remain on sale. Incidentally, they were also happy with the news in the outgoing week. Togliatti announced their intention to release new all-wheel drive models, and Omoda crossovers indicated localization in Vladivostok.
Another good thing is that the Ministry of Transport has taken up “tick traps”. This is a really big problem right now. After all, there are many road sections where the maximum speed is suddenly and unreasonably reduced, for example from 90 to 60 km/h. And in such places there is almost always a traffic police camera, which – and you can’t say it any other way – saves money. The Bureau is preparing methodological recommendations to eradicate such practices.
A fly in the ointment with very happy events was the news about the adjustment of the charges for paid parking in Moscow. The changes affect 140 metropolitan streets: in other areas, the cost rises from 50 immediately to 380 rubles per hour.
