It even has hood struts! Ostentatious American Moose-tang doesn't have this marvel of engineering from the factory!
In MA.....I'm safe....not going to travel that far for a Lada
If that thing ever lost a wheel weight I bet there'd be a whole Lada shakin' goin on...
There really wasn't a whole Lada finish quality to that, was there? I'm seeing a Lada panel gaps and a Lada junk interior. Maybe the Soviets Bloc'd it from there memory when it came here?
I'm torn, despite its shortcomings there's a whole lada things I like aboot it
I only drive 3-wheeled turds, bro.

That was just bad.

Yeah, I know- I was reaching for a Lada that.
A Niva or a 1200 (or derivative) interests me, the above looks like a Chinese copy of the Chevy Corsica. Unwanted.
I have this masochistic urge to know what engine us under that plastic cover

Or maybe something like this.
According to the internets- it's a 1.5l 16v DOHC. No idea what it's derived from, yet.
If an AE92 Corolla and a Ford Tempo had a child, it might look like that.
I believe you need to reference the specific federal subject in which the lada was produced, in order to not offend 'aircooled.' As a Californian, he's very, very, very sensitive to words that may offend Soviets. Also, the term "Soviet" is offensive to Soviets. Please pick another word. As long as it's not "Russians." That's offensive too.
How does a Lada end up in Boston? Dosen't someone in customs make sure that doesn't happen?
In reply to Wally:
The customs officer had a lada stuff on his plate that day

...only to Chechens.
Is the battery a jump box?

Because it's not a Skyline?

I believe you've misspelled "Chexicans."

May not be derived from anything. The box-square Lada, which was mostly a Fiat 124, did not use the Fiat engine. The Soviets insisted upon their own engine in those (in most every Russian car, actually), so the 'modern' Lada may follow suit.
I have this book available for sale if anyone is as weirdly fascinated with Soviet bloc cars as I was:

yes, it says so in the ad. Also states that it will come with a real battery when the car is sold
