And if they all come true, MIAC 2012 will become one of the most interesting Russian car dealerships.

PLEASE LUXURY
The big German three will delight visitors to MIAS-2012 not only with Russian debuts. Mercedes-Benz will bring, albeit not the most significant, but still the world premiere. In the spring, the updated GL was presented at the New York Auto Show, and the charged Moscow version 63 will be adorned by the charged version 63 from AMG. From Russian premieres - the new “B-class”, “crazy brick” G63 AMG and the concept “Style Coupe” (Style Coupe) - a small CLS on the platform “A-class”.
The updated BMW “seven” has already gone on sale, but Moscow will be her first salon show. But Europe will see the BMW-i8 Spider concept for the first time. This is an open version of the hybrid sports car from the promising generation i, which includes environmentally friendly and high-tech models.
Audi will bring a new generation of charged models - S6, S7, S8. But much more interest should be caused by the world premiere. Which one? Not yet known. Perhaps the smallest "eska" or wagon "A3 Sportbek." Or maybe even RS7, the appearance of which is also rumored.
The five-meter seven-seater crossover Infinity-JX35 is already on sale in the US market, and will soon appear at Russian dealers. Overseas prices start from 40 thousand dollars. We are about one and a half times more expensive. More precisely? Come to the stand and find out.
“Lexus” also does not reveal all the secrets, but with a high degree of probability in Moscow will demonstrate the new generation ES, recently lit up at the auto show in New York.
The new Lexus-ES is more like GS and RX in the face, the forms have become more intricate, and heaviness has appeared in the posture

"Kia" promises to show its new flagship - a five-meter sedan K9, built on the rear-wheel drive platform "Hyundai Genesis." The car has been sold in Korea since mid-spring. By the time it appears in Russia, it will replace the faceless index with its own name.
At the auto show, they are going to unveil the price of the Chevrolet-Malibu business sedan (ЗР, 2012, No. 5), which will appear at dealers from September. Interesting, disappoint or please? And Toyota will present its tidbit - Camry in the budget (cheaper than a million rubles) configuration Standard with a 2-liter engine and automatic machine.
Do not believe me - Jaguar promises the world premiere. Honestly, we are at a loss. Is it possible that a new F-Type roadster will be brought to Moscow, which in his youth was the C-X16 concept? Or is it just an XJ limousine with new engines?
A novelty of a global scale will be put up by a relative of Jaguar Land Rover. The new Range Rover added in almost all dimensions, but thanks to an ultralight body dropped almost half a ton in comparison with its predecessor.
The European premiere will be played by Porsche, exhibiting the fastest version of the Cayenne GTS (read the material in this issue). She is perhaps the fastest not only among Porsche all-terrain vehicles, but also among all other classmates. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes only 5.4 s, and the maximum speed reaches 260 km / h. Only the “Jeep” can furnish the opponent: the “Grand Cherokee SRT8” with a 6.4 liter (465 hp) HEMI V8 engine is gaining a hundred in 4.8 seconds.
CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE
In the mass segment, as in all recent years, sedans will reign. Manufacturers respond to demand, but the PSA alliance will be the brightest: three new products at once. Peugeot will be shown model 408, the analogue from Citroen has the C4 L index (both cars are planned to be assembled in Kaluga), they will be supplemented by the younger Citroen S-Elise. But the Peugeot 301 will be reserved for the Paris premiere.
Next year, Russians will be offered fresh “Breeze” from the Chinese “Lifan”. By the end of 2013, the company will make him the flagship of the brand in the face of the Lifan-720 sedan, playing in the D-class.
The Chevrolet, that is, General Motors, will roll out on the court of Russians an inexpensive Cobalt sedan of 4.5 meters in length. He will be supported by the Cruise station wagon, coming out simultaneously with the restyling of the family, and heavy artillery - the Trail-Blazer all-terrain vehicle and its co-platform Colorado pickup truck. Alas, all of them are drawn to the premieres of only the European level.
The Brazilian Chevrolet-Cobalt sedan will be assembled in Russia or will establish supplies from the GM plant in Uzbekistan

Kia will boast of an updated Sorento, and the Sid hatchback will receive reinforcements in the form of a SW universal. You can timidly hope for a stylish Pro-Sid.
But "Suzuki" will become generous at the world premiere of "Grand Vitara." We will soon find out whether the volume of changes in the car will correspond to the status of a new generation.
The Japanese from Mazda secreted to the last. Let's assume that this is a new generation of the Six. Still, this is the most interesting model for our market. It is also possible that the role of the nail of the stand will be assigned to the VT-50 pickup truck. The same position was taken by Volkswagen. The Germans, however, with aces in their sleeves are sparse. It is worth counting only on a certain surprise especially for the Russian market.
EXIT FROM SHADOW
Two brands will soon cease to be gray in the Russian market. Who would have thought a few years ago that "smarts" would be officially brought to Russia! However, the time has come, and starting this year, cars will be sold through the Mercedes dealer network.
And who is the second? There is no confirmed information yet, but most likely, it will be at the Moscow International Auto Show that the presentation of the Akura brand will take place, which, according to the latest data, should appear on our market in 2014. Although it is possible that the terms will be adjusted and the premium segment will replenish with another competitor.

AvtoVAZ and the affiliated
A dozen cars will be seen by visitors to the AvtoVAZ stand. In addition to the already sold “Priors”, “Grants”, “Largus” will show restyled “viburnum”. In addition, they will put out the next version with an automatic transmission, which buyers can’t wait for. An interesting concept car from the chief designer Steve Mattin will become the ancestor of the new look of all future models crowned with a boat. Indeed, until now, there has been no continuity in design between different generations of VAZ cars. Another concept (it is not yet known whether it will become serial) is the Hellas electric car, built on the basis of Kalina. The power reserve is enough for 140 km, and the battery charging time is eight hours. Not without race cars: the public will be shown sports versions of two models of the Lada - Grant Sport and Kalina Rally.

Another novelty, which will receive registration at AvtoVAZ, will celebrate its world premiere at the booth of Nissan, a relative of the concern. You probably guessed that we are talking about the Almera model, designed on the BO Logan platform. The budget sedan will be assembled in the same workshop with Lada-Largus. The start of production of the new machine is scheduled for the end of this year. The remaining information is kept secret, but company representatives promise to answer all questions at the exhibition.
