Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 American automakers are constantly criticized for making gass guzzlers and inefficient automobiles. Just as much as they are criticized, they are copied. This is the latest out of Russia, its called the GAZ......... Resembles the American Hummer........

Montrose1100 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 they think the hummer is a tank... nothing new with the Russians stealing tank designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westguy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 It won't sell here because of gas prices. Even though the oil seems to be running out, I wouldn't be suprised if Russians are paying very little for it. Iranians pay somewhere around $.30/gallon for their gas.

Isnt it funny how gas prices in some countries are cheaper than the USA? In some of those same countries with cheap gas, it is most expensive to own an automobile......public transportation is still the preferred method of travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orikal Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It looks like a military vehicle.Yeah, it does appear to be an actual military vehicle, not a copy of one designed for on-road use like the H2. Is that a snorkel by the passenger's door/window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a snorkel by the passenger's door/window? It is a Mil vehicle. Just like how the H1 is a civilian version of the military Humvee. Look out for Lada to make a russian H2 and H3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
