A Daewoo Matiz on a Moscow street in city dirt camouflage, almost blending in with the bleak early spring surroundings.
Next time I am going to shoot a cleaner example also wait for better weather or even season.
But for now... there's some filter play.
Its production ceased more than ten years back everywhere... except continued unabated at Uzbekistan's Uz-Daewoo factory and may still be continuing to this day to the joy of its many fans here.
A very popular car throughout the former Soviet Union, in Russia and in Moscow.
Especially popular with pizza-delivery kind of people, ladies and everybody who needs (or can only afford) a small car.
Subsequent models, including the Chevrolet Spark, didn't quite catch up with it in popularity and are practically non-existent.
Nice photo gallery BTW at the factory's website from where come the above and below pictures.
Matiz Best!
Another testament to its popularity in Russia is a slick Matiz-dedicated website - www.matiz2.ru - worth a look.
More resources - 3D view of Matiz passenger compartment.
And there is an international Matiz site - MyMatiz.com.
On finishing this post, I almost feel like buying one myself as a second car but there's no danger of that in the near future given the finances.
And with this not so subtle a hint...
