The Russian government is planning to introduce its own "cash for clunkers" package, following the success of rebate programs in the U.S. and parts of western Europe. The hope is that a "rubles for wrecks" plan next year will revive the domestic auto industry and spur Russian new-car sales, now running at less than half last year's levels. Anya Ardayeva reports for VOA from Moscow.
