A working car for most economic Russian drivers is a minibus. This technique is universal. If you take not a cargo modification, then the car is able to act as a family vehicle. "Gazelle" is our everything - thanks to the low cost in the secondary market. But the domestic car does not give joy. Especially old models, because the new one is not available for most people. "Gazelle" rots almost before our eyes, does not shine with dynamics. This minibus or van needs constant attention. If the owner does not know how or does not want to repair the car himself, it is better to immediately abandon the purchase.
But in the USA, instead of the Gazelle, there are pickups and minibuses. Under the hood, they usually have a V8. It's just that the construction and repair sector, as well as cargo transportation, are well paid in the country. Therefore, local craftsmen who are not lazy have the opportunity to fill the “monsters” with a V8. And minibuses here often amaze with the luxury of finishing in the cabin. It's not even clear why buying a car like the Chevrolet Express. It looks like a regular passenger van from the outside. And inside - a luxury for a large family. Although, if you think about it, it becomes clear. Locals often travel, so they need reliability. And you could always rely on Chevrolet vans. The author of the channel "Ivan Zenkevich PRO cars" will tell about such a model.
