Default New offerings from Russia

Now that we are becoming a plutocracy, is this what we can expect from Government Motors?

Rubles for Wrecks - FOXNews.com

One is a Chrysler Sebring clone
One is 8,000 lbs,
Ones still uses a carburator.

None are "green"

It is with great anticipation that I wait for the new stuff from GM.

Nice! Those things are almost as ugly as early Dodge models

I found this video of what would happen when the Russian Car Czar comes into the Kremlin to get checks to pay the dealerships that participated....

This popped up when I was reading about the magnificent Russian offerings.

Neat looking, but I'll call Franc when I need to buff and wax that puppy!

That 8,000 thing reminds of me of James Bond movies and Soviet spies.

It reminds me of my wife's 1988 Lincoln Town car, the Peterbuilt version.

So how long until the BMW Vision is featured in a Hollywood blockbuster sci-fi extravaganza?

And it looks like it's pissed off that it's ugly too! Got the 'angry" face on.


Poor Russia - a country that never had a love for autos and apparently still doesn't. Blech, that's some uglymobiles.


This thread has disturbed me so much, I must retire to the garage to lay eyes on some beautiful vehicles now.
