13177 Supersonic May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 I think I sat once in a Lada before back then, only remembered the door is very big and heavy, so difficult to open and close. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Supersonic May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 The joke back when Lada was sold in Singapore was : A man went to an ICE shop and told the owner, I would like a radio for my Lada. Owner: ok, sounds like a fair trade. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without any change from 70s / 80s till 2012, a total of 20mil units were sold. A very respectable sales figure. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BDriver Hypersonic May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 I guess not many here even heard about Lada. Lada is one of the 2 budget car brand (the other been Yugo) introduced to Singapore in the early 90s, and the best selling model was Samara (a car that can blow hot air onto your face - problematic aircon, make you stay longer in the car - 'cos the doors cannot be opened, and the best part, send the driver wondering why he/she need to get a class 3 license to drive it - 'cos the engine sound like a tractor / generator more than a car). Well, fast forward to the 21st century, and Lada is still a budget car brand (now under the Renault-Nissan group), and the lineup has been modernized, sort of. But the greatest news here is: Only Lada Xray show car stolen in Russia Lada Xray was officially revealed in November last year and the first car of the series rolled off the assembly lines on December 15. Sales are already well underway, but, apparently, the manufacturer has only one show car to showcase during different events. Well, this one got stolen in Russia. According to Russian media, police in the Samara region is investigating a theft that reportedly happened in the factory of AvtoVAZ in Togliatti. Russian site 63.ru says two suspects have been detained, both part of an organized crime group. Interestingly, it is believed one member of that group is part of the plant’s security team. I wonder why they chosen the model name as "X-Ray" Hope...... It's not meant for the new Lada owner will be sending to Hospital for x-ray examination for broken rib cage or broken facial bones 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner: ok, sounds like a fair trade. One of my ex-army mate bought a brand new Lada and sold it off in 1 month ownership, he complaint to me that it feels like AMX13 Tank, our SAF 41SAR Regiment M113 drives better and safer than his new car Edited May 26, 2016 by 2BDriver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 The Skoda Rapid (not Skoda Favorit) was launched at the same time as the Lada Samara. The favorit was lanuched later to replace the Rapid.

Carbon82 Moderator May 28, 2016 Share May 28, 2016 A blast to the past guys.... The Favorit is really Red Hot. It make the owner RED in the face for the high repair bill (my ex-colleague spend more each month on repair than installment), and the aircon will be blowing out HOT air on and off. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
