Way of becoming

As already mentioned, Valdai GAZ-3310 is a modernized heir. The previous truck, GAZ-3309, hit the market with its qualities: reliability, endurance and good returns. Therefore, designers of the Gorky Automobile Plant have found an excellent solution - to produce a similar machine, only in an updated format. So, 2002 was the final release date, and hopes were met.

Appearance

"Valdai" GAZ-3310 knows only one design option. And it does not matter that they are like two drops of water similar in appearance to the previous model. It feels like GAZ has developed its own concept of beauty, which producers want to convey to everyone. But the fact is that the uniformity of design is not entirely good. But it is not necessary to choose. Therefore, it is worth mentioning the advantages of appearance. Just want to note one plus: the concern left the corner design. Finally, for many years you can see the smooth forms.

The first thing that catches your eye is the non-standard truck headlights. They are located on the edges of the hood. The lamps of the far and dipped beam were frozen in an incomprehensible form. The edges of the headlights are stretching somewhere back. Thus, if you look closely, you can see a drop. Below sat a large cast-iron bumper. This anti-shock module with its cumbersome forms does not fit into the other smooth lines. Above you can see a brilliant in the sun radiator grille. It, as it is supposed, is decorated with the symbol of the company - a deer. On the sides awkwardly stick out large rear-view mirrors. By the way, they are taken so far not by chance. This arrangement allows us to narrow the dead zone of the machine to the minimum.
