The economic crisis may force the Gorky Automobile Plant to revise plans to discontinue the old Volga. Although it was previously to be made only to order in small batches, demand may now rise, especially from state organizations banned from buying foreign cars. Its price also boosts interest. Volga costs less than 350000 rubles and qualifies for loan subsidies.
The economic crisis may lead Gorky Automobile Plant to abandon its plans to discontinue production of the old Volga.As a reminder, back in November GAZ executives assured that the Volga would soon be taken off the assembly line (starting in 2010, they planned to make this model only to order in small batches). However, the economic situation has now changed somewhat. Demand in Russia for relatively inexpensive domestic models may rise again. The old Volga may be in demand by all kinds of government organizations, which Vladimir Putin recently effectively banned from buying foreign cars. Besides, do not forget that the Volga costs less than 350,000 rubles. And that means it falls under the state loan subsidy program.
