Expert opinion
Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of the magazine “Behind the wheel”:
– If the parties agree, sales will start this year.
I would buy myself a BAW BJ212 – in the “no” GAZ-69. The most famous car brand BAW. There was nothing left of the “goat”, starting with the Mitsubishi 2.4 turbo engine (211 hp). In China, it costs about a million rubles, in our country it would cost twice as much.
