I've driven a Lada SUV. It was the weirdest situation. Probably about 1996.
My dad loved reading Auto Trader and was always buying weird vehicles. Some dude had won a Lada, so it was brand new (something like 150 kms on the odometer and the paint was already coming off the Lada logo lol). My dad got a smokin' deal because the seller DGAF and nobody really wanted a tan Lada. I think my dad paid like $5k for the thing. He had me take it to a tire shop to put 31" mud tires on it so it actually looked extra hilarious and kind of bad ass in a Lada sort of way. It was gutless, and the 31" tires made it even moreso, but they did the trick and we sold the thing and made a couple grand because it looked way cooler than it did with the stock tires.
Anyway, total POS, but charming and neat in a super basic way.
