I kind of like it. It looks like something out of an 80's Russian sci-fi movie where they took an old Lada and added some shit to make it loo k like “future car.” Which is basically what it is, I guess. Kalashnikov also makes these:

Looks like Vlad & Ivan need to lay off the vodka for a bit. They made a new Yugo.

If an electric car company can make flamethrowers,   a gun manufacturer can make an electric car. Fair Game.

If they can land them in North America and price them at $20-25k they’ll sell every last one of them. ...as long as they don’t p ull a Tesla, where that $25k magically turns into $50k after options .

It would never sell in the US, we like our automatic transmissions, which would probably be illegal on a Kalashnikov.

There was also Daewoo. I remember their early commercials.

“We’re Daewoo. You’ve probably never heard of us, but we’re the ‘ x’ largest company in the world.” ...then they went on to show all of the stuff they made.

Had a buddy with an AR made by them too. Good gun, crap cars.

B efore anyone really knew any better, I walked on the Daewoo lot one night and had a look. Every one of them had leather and wood inside, and the cheapest sticker prices going.

I expected them to do well, but once everyone realized they were utter shit, it was game over.

Technically yes, but there are plenty of semi auto variations.

That would be a very narrow sliver of the Venn diagram, methinks.

But an electric car company didn’t make flame throwers.  A tunneling company made something that could be argued is a flame thrower, but still.
