Russian automaker GAZ unveiled its latest production car yesterday at the Moscow Auto Show. Called the Siber, the four-door sedan is actually based on the previous-generation Chrysler Sebring which was all-new for 2001. GAZ acquired the rights to vehicle from DaimlerChrysler in April of 2006. While the overall look is still very familiar, GAZ has made some changes of its own to the Sebring.
GAZ hired the design and engineering firm UltraMotive to design the exterior of the car so that it wasn’t an exact carbon copy of the Chrysler Sebring. The car was also given a revised suspension to help it handle the harsh Russian winters. The Siber will offer three gasoline engines choices–a 2.0 liter, a 2.4 liter and a 2.7 liter V6. The Siber will hit Russian showrooms this March with a sticker price of $18,000.
