In the opinion of top managers of AVTOVAZ this rise in price has no negative effect on the sales volumes of these models are not produced for corresponds to the "background" increase in prices on the Russian market as a whole. And from its niche the most affordable in the country of cars of brand LADA in any case not falls out.
