GM must have seen the steady inroads that Kia and Hyundai have made in Europe.
It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
Kia and Hyundai have invested heavily in automated assembly lines. This ensures that most of their cars meet the required quality standard.
But when you look at SAIC for example, their assembly lines rely more of manual assembly. This gives greater variation in the final quality and raises the risk of 'Friday afternoon' cars being sold to customers.
So which route will Volga be taking I wonder?
