It may not be aspiring to be ground breaking but at any launch where a state leader would be present, you get the best available and specced model out. What was on display here was an absolutely minimal spec model. Whether this will be the final version being sold is irrelevant. This was a PR stunt and they used a piece of crap (which initially refused to work).ShadowHearth wrote: »Well I am not Russian but I can speak Russian very well.

This is not suppose to be a ground breaking car, it's cheap motoring for average Joe. By making this car he gets people in country working and affordable motoring.
It's really amazing how western Europe is afraid of Russia... Mind my words, you better be friends with Russia then Americans. It's a shame cold war fear and propoganda made it so hard for countries to understand each ather. Trust me, you in here were Fedd not less bull**** about cccp,then cccp was Fedd bull**** about western world.
It's a new government and a new country. Atleast if there would be someone like Putin in this country, maybe we wouldn't be in such ****...
Now I better put flame prove shield on I guess. As I will be destroyed as communist pig...
The thing has steel rims FFS. There obviously must be no central locking on it. The fact that he couldn't get it going for a while just reinforces my impression of it.
Funny I'm reminded of this...
Whatever about his past, I'd put money on it that that man will never own one of these!Putin is a murdering gangster and his car sucks.0 -
Fair play to Putin, he's pretty much flown or driven everything else in Russia, so why not the Lada.:D Must be great to be the boss!
FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.
You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

Well, I said it again. It is just cheap cheap cheap motoring. Have you lived in Russia or eastern Europe? They were not aiming for decking merc quality...you forgetting: he is not trying to sale this car to you, it's for it's own Market.
He admitted himself In interview that car did not started, because his own fault. It was said on the news, not sensored or whatever ****. No one got murdered for that.
As for putin haters... Look at your own govermemt. I better see Putin here and kick everyone asses and do theyr jobs, then bunch of clowns, green Colored or not anymore. Russia is growing fast, the changes in country are unbelievable, but will BBC or sky tell you about this? I don't think so. Will you hear some bull**** how Putin kills babies during the night? Yup ofc.0 -

Firstly, I never expected it to be a good or expensive car. I simply made the point that at any PR event you go the whole hog and get the best model that you can. What we had on show here was a piece of crap. As a business owner, would you take out a standard model at a PR gig that was to be hosted by someone as important as Putin?ShadowHearth wrote: »Well, I said it again.

If you think that car was standard then look at the following for other versions of this puke...

Even this version looks better (but not much)
I also thought it a bit strange that his advisors didn't tell him (or anyone else in the car) to stick on their seat belts.0 -

What's wrong with him trying out the normal model? so he gets experience that normal Joe gets? Sorry Ivan
. Fair play for trying out **** model.
If that would be Germany then president would get the most loaded one and say: wow cool, I love what people drive. Where in reality only 1% will ever buy, as extras cost more then car itself.
I don't argue, car is ****, I have seen and drove in more ladas then you ever dreamed off. where I came from my first car was 89 Mazda 626. That was in 2005. It was spotless, like any ather old car. People could not afford change cars as often as gloves. In 2005 there were spotless mk2 golfs 86'. Audi 100 85'. So as you see car are very very old and still on the road. So giving cheap newer affordable car is a good idea. Work places created, people cam renew they old ladas which are just scrap.
For western europeons it's very hard to understand the way of life I'm there.0 -
I'm not saying it was his fault. I never blamed him for anything apart from not wearing his seatbelt.ShadowHearth wrote: »What's wrong with him trying out the normal model? so he gets experience that normal Joe gets? Sorry Ivan. Fair play for trying out **** model.

I made the point that the car is a piece of crap. The PR team in lada don't know their arse from their elbow. They had a chance to put out the best version of the cheapest car in Europe but instead put out the cheapest version of the cheapest car in Europe.0 -

I dont know about you but I wouldnt be telling him what to do
Anyway the design of the car doesnt really look much different than something like a Kia, from the front anyway. Its meant too be cheap motoring and it certainly looks like it accomplished that. In fairness its probably in the same league as a lot of the bottom spec stuff that you'd see on the roads here.
Bit embarassing for Lada though seeing the car struggle to start!0 -

Relax man
I hope you realise how lucky you are. Being able to buy a reliable second hand car from Japan and pay cheap market value for it. I bet your parents weren't so lucky. There was no market and you couldn't just buy a car over there as you always could over here. Unless they brown nosed someone in the party, they would have had to be on a waiting list for a new car for 10+ years, just to be able to buy one at full list price.

Ah no man, sorry, I might looked a bit aggressive, but I really don't like all this bashing or wishing of death to someone who they don't know anything at all. Judging eyes on something people don't have a clue.
Trust me, I am very happy in Ireland. I have huge respect to this country. It gave me a chance to survive, work for my own shelter and food.ireland did more then my country did in 19 years for me. No matter how bad it will be in Ireland I will stay here, Ireland was there for me when I came with 100eu I'm my pocket and nowhere to go or live. I will be here and work and spend money in Ireland when it's bad times. God, if there will be war, I will go fight for Ireland, not the country I came from!
I sow bouth sides of the Europe, from both prospectives. So I know what Putin is doing with that lada. And I know it's Crapy cheap ****, he knows that too. I just find it silly when people judge it like this, witouth knowing situation.0 -
A few more pics. Begs the question, why can't our lot drive themselves around?:D
