Country:  | WOW A LADA! I used to see them in Canada, "LADA JUNK!" I think they sold for $4000.00 CDN when I was there. When the USSR shot down flight 007, protesters burned one in front of the Soviet Embassy!!!

Country:  | The only good civil car was Volga: 
They served as TAXIs also... 
And the Czech pre-70's Škoda's were top class also...
Old Felicia 
Old Octavia 
...even the late 70's sporty cars, such as 110s had it's beauty... 
and the rest is what you can see on the previous page... The Škoda did not died just beacuse of the Volkswagen fusion......  | |

Country: | I find old Soviet cars remarkably unattractive, unappealing and well crap. I'd take a lot of other cars before I took an ex-soviet bloc car.
