Weasel1984 ◊ 2021-08-20 19:13	Since the end of 1998 assembled for own market needs in Russia. A new company was formed by GAZ and FIAT to make FIAT cars in Russia. There were plans to assmebly also Lanicas Kappas there, but finally it didn't happen. Info. from "Samochody Swiata 1999".
Bux_48 ◊ 2021-08-20 19:36	Didn't remember that, and the Kappa anecdote, thank you! I see that this information has been added to Wikipedia, too (I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before..)
