also it is confirmed that fwd 1.6liter Lada Granta SPORT is capable of hektik skids

I like that Lada technology is always 20 years "behind".
It shows they're not stupid and rush into trends like others do.

how many people buy merrican even if its shit because of patriotism ?

New lada? Depends. Never driven one before. Old Niva? Fuck yeah

I'm lucky enough to have an old Niva.
Fucking amazing, you can see why the design has barely changed.
If Ladas were available in the UK again I could see many people wanting to buy them.

Why is the Niva suddenly so popular?
Was it featured in a cartoon or something?

They're alright up until you get into a crash. Then you're dead.

it's had a cult following for quite some time now. it makes total sense - many car enthusiasts love the cars of the 80s, and the niva happens to be an 80s car that you can buy new in 2016.

Not to my knowledge.
It's popular cause its good and simple and has become a main-stay of a 4x4 in many countries.
And it enjoys carrying sofas.

Germoney here.

Prefer Lada over VW in what context? They're almost non existent here, at least in the south.

Maybe in eastern Germany but even then it's only a few.

Is this some poopaganda, ruskibro?

An obscure site reported that Lada Granta sold more cars than VW Jetta in May (note that we're talking figures like 40 vs 45 cars), because for some reason you Germans hate Jetta. They ironically titled the article "Lada outsells VW and Lexus", but since most journalists can neither read nor understand sarcasm, it was widely misquoted as being serious on lots of news sites.

crave for sedans is typical for third world countries. Picrel indian market of tiny ass entry level sedan. Poor people often choose having longer car than the neighbour has, over equipment or better engine options. First world prefers liftbacks or even hatchbacks which, although shorter, are much more practical

>>15690653

Yeah they look nice and have nice suspension but drivetrain is not that good, lots of vibrations that can't be fixed. Engine is kinda ok but very rough.

I already have a lada 1500. Race me you wont.

>>15690787
I fixed the worst of the vibes on mine by re-aligning the transfer case. Max 20 min job. The rest is pretty rough and ready but you have to remember the design has barely changed since 1977 so we can't really compare it to modern standards of comfort.

Sedans are way more popular in the usa than hatchbacks. I think most americans think hatchbacks look kinda gay or like something a young girl would drive

Of course we hate the Jetta, it's a less practical version of the Golf. As the other guy said only the third world and Murrika fall for the sedan = more prestige shit.

No, all new cars are Renault-Nissan (so the cars are actually fine, better than like Chinese ones I guess).
The older ones are starting to get appreciated as classic, never though I'd live to see the day when you can buy the same car for 10000 or 500000 thousand roubles depending on condition (or see anything in domestic shitboxes, but now I see restored on the streets from time to time).

>new Lada
For $8k yes.
Otherwise no let me get an old one for $400.

This is a modern car? It looks like it's a 90s car.
It would never sell in America.

>>15692030
At something like $8k they wouldn't be able to keep lots stocked. You'd be seeing people financing them with payments below $100/mo, likely well below it. Every third suburbanite 17 year old pizzaboy will be given one by his parents. He will hate it, then lament selling it off later on when he finds /o/.

It's an 80s car that just happened to stay in production. Like the XJ should have. The fact they went 20 years with one change to the body style (front end, that stayed bolt-on compatible if you swap it all at once) was already crazy.

>>15688604
>>15687177
thought the same about the Vectra, but damn that Lada looks sexy rear

>>15692055
But what about reliability, civics are kings of pizza runners because they just don't die.

>>15692085
As long as the engine+trans aren't garbage they'd be the new Metro. Especially brand new at half the price of a new civic. You'd have the 'it's brand new so nothing should go wrong for a few years' perception going for it as well over stuff like used civics. There's really no competition whatsoever in that niche and trim level for USDM.

>>15687114

No. Fucking. Way.

>>15692030
Those are different cars.
This >>15687114 Kalina is post-Soviet miserable attempt at design. In Russia you would be laughed at for owning it (probably since you can buy the older ones for several hundred bucks).
This >>15687182 an the ones on the website are Renault-Nissan, those are just normal modern cars.

Also the most popular car here (if you count last 10 years of sales) is probably domestically assembled Ford Focus.

>>15692114

Meaning ones that were designed before the Kalina.

>>15692097
America seems to lack the entry level cars the rest of the world gets

Here in Bongland I can buy a Dacia Sandero for £6000 with no radio, manual windows and a simple 1.6L 4cyl making 90HP (IIRC)

The equivalent in America is what, a Nissan Versa?, which is $12,000 (£9100) and comes with electric windows and cruise control. You don't have a basic, no nonsense car

>>15692006
>I would assume

Nah you gotta drive one to see.

>>15692189
Sorry, the base Sandero has a 1.2L 75hp 4cyl

>>15692202
it's basically engine from top tier 1st gen twingo, wich means bullitproof jay leno aprooved

>>15692225
If you want to bump up the price to Versa equivlent, you can get a 1.5L 4cyl 75hp diesel for £8995

>>15692189
That's because America likes features, chevys commercials proved that, told us all about the features yet didn't give us specs on the engine or anything else, just how it had a hotspot built in, then told the people in the commercials that they should express how the feel in emoji's.

>>15692235
So offer features, but don't make them standard

Have the option of a complete base model, with nothing but 4 wheels and an engine

>>15692232
and it's the engine known to blow up...
but only when they try to sqeeze more than 100hp in renault or Mercedes. Low power version in dacia lasts forever

>>15692252
Even the base models now a days come equip with tech in it, rear cameras are now a safety mandatory thing here in the states.
Why I believe American cars are so expensive, because of all the safety regulations that they have told car makers to have.

Sorry for so late answer. No propaganda, I just want to know what anons from other countries think about Lada. Also, look to this car, isn't it cute?

>>15696173
But new Ladas are better, than old ones. New models are more tough, more powerfull, they can reach 125 mph and not turn to a pile of garbage. And, of course, they are more stylish and sexy looking.
