Having had the opportunity to drive the new VW Polo sedan, which the VAG concern made specifically for Russia, I felt bitterness for our automotive industry. I really wish we had a car developed specifically for the Ukrainian market under a well-known global brand. It seems our monopolist Ukravto with its huge resources will never be able to create anything like this. Is it really all our engineers are capable of is Forza, copied from Chinese mass-market goods and passed off as a Ukrainian car?
Russian Polo or don't rub salt in the wound
