Default Lada

How many people love Lada's? I find these cars hillarious!
Check out Ladas newest models at their website http://www.lada-auto.ru/

P.S. What do you call a Lada going up a hill? A bloody miracle!

Russian cars are the most unreliable vehicles ever made.

i wouldn't want a lada, just for the damn fact that it says lada on it...it has to be one of the most embarrassing things to drive

Though there is one Lada i'd absolutely love to have:

This vehicle is classic!
See how the roof bends in cause of the weight?

i was in europe the other week and saw some of the LAMEST GAYEST looking cars driving around in Germany and Austria, that think i have ever seen.. i was laughing my ass off at the people who would actually drive one of these things. they said you can parallel park these bad boys sideways in a parking spot and it wont be sticking out in the street to give you an idea of how short and retarded they look. check it out - http://www.zapworld.com/cars/smartcar.asp

We have them in the UK as well as a roadster version. They aren't that bad at all. Though a little pricey.

Our fuel prices are a lot more expensive over here eqivalent of $7.16 dollors per US gallon. so small cars get bought and sold, they are economical unlike huge trucks and SUV's

Dude, Smart is WAY cool. I'm totally shocked you have never heard of em before...this pretty young brand went from zero to hero in 3 years or so.

You can just rip off the body panels (it's meant to be that way) and put other ones on it hehe
If you get some little damage, you just rip one off your neighbors car overnight

The Smart Forfour was build half an hour from here hehe...regularly see trains loaded with tons of em pass through the city hehe

The Smart Roadster is awesome, and Brabus' version of it is amazing!

To be honest you all dislike lada for no reason I can guarantee you the Niva (4x4) is one of the best cars on the Dutch market. They are fairly comfortable,great offroaders(they easily beat any landrover) AND very practical AND not to forget cheap as dirt Plus they are so incredibly reliable !! The "Lada's " you guys think they drive in Russia are actually made in othe (russian) factories in the communist era "under license".Because most are almost 20 years old they have rust.. Most european and american cars would have been completely gone by that time with the same maintenance(=none)

Get over your prejudices and go out and drive one !!! I guarantee you won't be disappointed

Slight error there The russians never bought any license, they stole the design No wonder almost all russian cars have a western look-a-like
