>they still make Ladas
>someone out there apparently buys them
>they cost like 7k Euros new
what the
Lada Vesta
>>51519613
bulgar explain what the fuck is a lada
>>51519763
A meme car.
>>51519791
Well liked in Finland though, I hear.
>>51519791
I thought trabants were the eastbloc meme car
>>51519763
Super cheap russian car, they normaly only have the lowest safety standards that they absolutly have to have
>>51519763
Its the commie block of cars.
>>51519861
In the 70s and 80s no longer sold here
>>51519613
So they're the car you'd get your daughter on their 16th birthday or whatever the legal age is for driving in Europe?
>>51519861
Used to be. Back in the 70s and 80s. But only among lower classes.
Kinda want one 2bh
wonder if I can put something like a musso engine in it
>>51519898
Modern trabis still look meme worthy, but unlike with a Lada there isn't a chance that the Airbag will kill you
>>51519992
I wouldn't give a Russian car to my worst enemy. Coincidently, also Russian.
>>51519898
Trabant made of duroplast from recycled commie junk, it's green and helping the environment!
(besides the engine)
>>51519613
>Omnipresent, cheap spare parts
>Simple servicing
>Hip2BSquare look
I mean I'd pick Niva over Lada if I wanted a passion project Russian self-propelled conversation piece, but I get the appeal
Also >>>/o/

>>51520041
Better looking than the new Mini tbqh. If they put it into production I hope there's a Kubelwagen version.
>>51519763
A really, really terrible piece of engineering.
Its like the AOL of cars.
>Bulgarian cars don't exist.
KEK
>>51520662
we're green
>>51520821
Ahaha nice joke
>>51520288
Would use for offroading.
>>51520841
A joke would be "Russia is not a pathetic shithole"
>>51520288
Ah the Bukhanka is way better than a VW van.
>>51519613
It's not the Ladas you're thinking.
Lada Granta is the most sold car in Russia.
>>51521173
But why? Is it because it's cheap as fuck?
Ahhh, so that's why American cars are so bad; it's not hard to outdo the Russians.
>>51521427
How do you explain American houses? Even Russians have more than chipboard for their walls.
Lada Niva is the pinacle of offroad car engineering
>>51521508
We'd die from cold if we didn't have thick walls.
>>51519763

>>51521587
More importantly they don't fall over once it gets a bit windy.
>>51521704
Was that the fuel tank?
>>51519992
In Europe we don't drive until 18.
Plus it is not common to buy your son/daughter a car, most of time cars are too expensive and you work part-time while a student to finance your first beater.
>>51520550
>implying
Lada Niva is one of the greatest cars ever built.
>Transmanche-Link, the commercial consortium that built the Channel Tunnel between England and France, used a fleet of 45 Nivas to aid in the enormous project. Each Niva accumulated in excess of 70,000 kilometres (43,000 mi) off-road during its employment, and after construction had been completed in 1993, the fleet was sold off to a local dealer.
>It was the first wheeled vehicle to spend more than ten years in Antarctica, where it was used by the Russian (formerly Soviet) Antarctic Expedition for transportation of personnel and goods, communication between Antarctic stations, towing boats and where it covered more than 40,000 km (24,855 miles) in the years 1990-2001.[17]

>>51521221
yeah
new modern cars you cannot work on them yourself
they put the easily replaced parts like the ac way under the engine so that you have it to get it to the shop
ladas still have them in the same place you don't have to remove the whole block to replace some parts
modern cars are a conspiracy against the owners
you cannot argue against this
>>51519613
Pic-related model isn't produced in Russia anymore. But yeah, there's a licensed production in some ME country (Egypt, I guess)
BTW, something new incoming from LADA.

>>51521508
lolwut. there's houses here that are 200+ years old. That's waaay longer than anything you'd find in Dresden or anywhere else in Europe. Houses here are built big and strong.
>>51521826
if only it didn't guzzle more gas than a 5k cc lincoln navigator
but it does get you to places not even mountain goats can reach
>>51521931
Looks nice.
>>51521948
We had 70mph on the coast the other day and no damage, if that was in the US it would be on "America's craziest home videos" with people's roofs being blown off and houses collapsing like a stack of cards...
>>51521508
We do have brick and concrete homes and older houses don't have drywall. Also a regular brick or concrete building isn't going to far much better. You basically need a bunker which is why they build safe vaults.
>>51521953
Well, boats are known to consume a lot of fuel.
>>51521508
>>51521712
So is the american way of life !
>>51519956
My dad had a Lada until mid 90's.
>>51519763
A man drives from Moscow to Paris, when does he arrive?
>>51521948
>there's houses here that are 200+ years old. That's waaay longer than anything you'd find in Dresden or anywhere else in Europe.
What? The oldest standing houses in my city are from the 13th century
>>51519613
It is part of Renault-Nissan actually. That's what they gonna start selling in 2016:>>51519722
>>51522043
70mph. Fucking kek. That's nothing. You realize we get Hurricanes.
>>51522234
>part of Renault-Nissan actually
But they already have Dacia for the lowest market segment.
>>51521948
>That's waaay longer than anything you'd find in Dresden
cheeky breeky
>>51521948
lmao shit for brains americans
>>51522277
I know, but entire American cities get destroyed by a bit of wind.
>>51522304
In Russia there is no dacia, Renault sells dacia's models as its own. And Lada is actually more expensive than Renault's low segment models. Especially these granta and vesta and what else they have there.
>>51521948
>there's houses here that are 200+ years old. That's waaay longer than anything you'd find in Dresden or anywhere else in Europe
Goddammit stop being a fucking retard
>>51522406
>>51522304
And i guess they don't call it dacia here because it already has meaning here. It's like Lada was selling its Kalina in Finland with different name because Kalina means something bad in finnish.
>>51522304
>>51522406
We have Dacia's.
>>51522277
There's middle age old houses in Ajdovščina, Slovenia, that regularly survive winds of excess of 250km/h
>>51522343
In what fuckin world is 100-200+mph "a bit of wind"
>>51522539
So Logan is selt as Dacia in Ukraine? Since here it is Renault.
>>51520550
And here you see an american who has absolutely no clue about cars.
>>51522611
It's wind, and there's a bit of it.
>>51522234
Renault and Nissan's CEO is a BRAZILIAN MAN!
A BRAZILIAN MAN RULES RUSSIA!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Ghosn
BRAZIL POWER!
I genuinely want to import a Lada for shits and giggles.
>>51522618
sold*
>>51522611
I remember it was tornado in some town not far from Moscow, it was carring little trucks in air and it hit in the centre of this town. Not even one house was destroyed or damaged.
>>51519613
Excellence does not require changes.
They dont sell Ladas here anymore
Kalina means rattle
>>51522611
We actually get wind storms with over 100mph. They are called Orkan here. They are a type of european cyclone.
>>51523170
They had some other name for the finnish market, didn't they?
>>51523244
Doesnt Poland get them alot? My moms from there and said they had tornadoes
>>51522618
Yes.
Dacia Logan/Sandero
Renault Megane/Fluence
>>51525945
No, but last year there were few. Don't worry her euro house will be fine. Roof is the only thing she can lose.
