Russia AvtoVAZ Dealers Say Inventories piling UP,
Government takes emergency measures.
Russia Flagship automaker AvtoVAZ,
considered the best of the worse, is overproducing for
the first time, pushing stockpiles of its best-selling
Lada models to critical levels.
Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov signed
an emergency resolution that will increase tariffs 500%
on imported second-hand cars from Oct. 1. In
a statement issued; a government spokesman said, "The
Government feels we must protect our flagship automaker.
We must increase the price of used
imported vehicles that are 7 to 8 years old.
|
These are the vehicles that AvtoVAZ competes against.
AvtoVAZ cutting production is not an option. We must
uphold the tradition of low quality cars, with demand
higher than supply.
This emergency measure will do this.
Insuring AvtoVAZ continues to produce cars that nobody
but Russia and CIS countries will purchase at an
artificial high price. We must continue to have a viable
automobile industry at no matter the cost to consumers."
.
Fiat 125 Year 1972, the car the current AvtoVAZ
2106 is based on, with minor changes. |

somebody way in the back, from Russia.

Chechens in Georgia are okay?
THE PRESIDENT: Well why wouldn’t
Chitlins in Georgia be okay? I mean lots of people who
like Chitlins are in Georgia. |

Politically correct? I don't understand?
The President: Well you can not say
that certain type of people, ethic group like chitlins,
I mean it is an ethnic food.

in the Peach State, Georgia? I remember Vlad saying
something about it.

we should stop the Press conference for a few minutes.

Russians in the Peach State, Georgia causing
problems I’m going to discuss it. Well maybe we should
stop the Press Conference and I call Vladimir and ask
him what are all those people from the South of Russia
doing in Georgia. You know I got relatives living close
by in Florida.
 At
this point the Press Conference was called off. |

"A Missile that would
Make Lenin Faint",
New York Times, September
22, 2002 |
COLD warriors would have gasped in disbelief if they
could have foreseen the debut of a new American rocket
last month. A giant 19 stories high, the Atlas 5,
successor to America's first intercontinental ballistic
missile, blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and
roared into space to deploy a satellite. But Yankee
smarts had little to do with the fiery success of the
rocket's engines. Instead, the brains were Russian.
Moscow may have lost the cold war, but its companies are
beating Western capitalists at the game of making rocket
motors. |
With technology that is simple and reliable,
powerful yet relatively cheap, the Russians are winning
over not only commercial customers around the globe but
the
American military as well. What's more, the Russians
have outperformed their technologically advanced rivals
by relying on a strikingly low-tech fuel: kerosene.
This story is true, not one of
our lies!!!!!!!!!! Search New York Times! |
