Oka # 5

Here is another Oka supermini car.


Except this one serves as a stationary billboard advertising a Georgian cuisine restaurant.





The manufacturer's emblem on the right of the grille (left of the picture) shows that the car is not a VAZ-1111 Oka but a SeAZ-1111 Oka so now you know.

Saab 900 NG

And here is an abandoned Saab 900 NG, last seen in production in 1998.


Note how this is an SE trim which was quite luxurious (by my standards anyway) and included Automatic Climate Control(ACC), leather interiors, wood trimmed dashboards, and 16" wheels.


The body style is a five-door hatchback.

50 Years of Lada in April 2020 - Lada 4x4

On April 19, 2020 the Lada car marque marks 50 years in automotive business; and to celebrate the occasion here are some pictures of Lada's current 4x4 model formerly known as the Niva.


The Lada 4x4 (formerly the Lada Niva) is currently Lada's oldest model in continuous production and one of the oldest in the world, having started in 1977 which makes it 42 years in production and the same generation model, modernized only in non-essential parts, a true contender for the world's current longest produced vehicle in the same model and generation.


Also, the Lada 4x4 is currently Lada's only model whose mechanicals are derived in some measure from the original Italian progenitor, the Fiat 124.








Pictures are released by Lada.
