Volga Siber

[2o6]

Pretty Much, is the Previous Gen Sebring that has some elements that have been toughened up.

Anyone else think the Concept renderings make the old Sebring look rather attractive?






If you scroll down the page, they are also planning to do the Dodge Caliber. (I think..........cannot read Russian)

[Submariner]

They could not have picked a better platform to start from.

Is it bad that I sort of like this car?  The old Sebring was a sedate looking vehicle, but it was just not a terribly BAD car.

[the Teuton]

Yeah, it's that bad.

[Danish]

Wow, that black car is trying so hard

[CaMIRO]

This car has been launched to compete with Dacia's Logan, a rather stolid design which, if reasonably modern, is hardly inspiring. If looks alone are considered, the Sebring will have little trouble outshining it.



Renault is now assembling the Logan in Russia, so GAZ (which makes the Volga) is fighting back.

The Sebring/Siber certainly has a size advantage though, if it's priced comparably to the Logan. Of course, it's interior packaging nearly cancels that out, but looking like a bigger car must count for something.

Good point. In Eastern Europe, with that chrome grille... you bet!

[omicron]

The headlight washers appear larger than the headlights themselves....

[Danish]

If Omi was drunk, he'd still find the car unattractive

[93JC]

Ouch, if that ain't damning I don't know what is.

[omicron]

Ouch indeed. I'm harsh like that, see.

I note with interest that I cannot see into the engine compartment, unlike the new Mercedes-Benz E-class. This is clearly a design fault - being able to see the engine through the panel gaps is much more fashionable than this visually-restrictive faff.
